In the film, Jonny Rico, when asked for the first time what is a citizen and what is a civilian, answers:
"A citizen accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the communal politics, defending it with their lives, while civilians do not." body politic, defending it with his life, a civilian does not.")
After a few weeks of his service, he added:
"Citizens have the courage to take human security as their individual responsibility. "("A citizen has the courage to make the safety of the human race their personal responsibility. )
That is to say, citizens take the responsibility of the state, but civilians do not; citizens are brave, but civilians do not; citizens defend the country, but civilians do not. In this division, the soul of the ancient Greek city-states echoes. Of course, not only in ancient Greek city-states, but also in those community organizations that defend human freedom and unity, there are such souls. We seem to hear Plato's distinction in the "Republic": the majority of the city-state are producers, and those outside the producers are guardians. In ancient Greek city-states, the distinction between citizens and commoners was equivalent to the distinction between nobles and commoners, and the distinction between free people and slaves. Nobles create order, commoners enjoy order; nobles go out to fight and make peace, and commoners produce and supply in the city.
