Sgt: We need to evacuate that city before enemy forces arrive.
GI: Can't, the civilians don't want to, their watching TV.
Sgt: Bomb everything, lets go.

Civilians run away and/or start screaming

An everyday, unknown face. A civilian is the person infront of you who is obeying the speed limit. A civilian is the fellow at the pizza joint who is looking at you and your friends like you're in the middle of a cocaine deal. A civilian is a person at a party who nobody except like 2 people know, and they may or may not be cock blocking. You can love em or hate em, but you can never get rid of civilians.
I walked into the basketball game, and all the civilians on the bleachers were looking at me because I was in my dress blue uniform.
