How are soldiers better than civilians?

Answer 1

That is not necessarily true. Many would say it is because they are braver; after all they are willing to fight and risk their lives.

However, a soldier is only better than a civilian in the case that the former believes what he is doing is right, and he is fighting for the right reasons. In another case, where a civilian is not a soldier because he believes that the war is being fought for the wrong reasons, he may be better than the soldier. Additionally, any soldier who commits a war crime is automatically not as good as a civilian who would not commit such a war crime. Overall, it gets very complicated and depends on someone's values and beliefs.

For example, under these standards, a Nazi soldier who believed he was doing a good thing would be considered better than an American citizen who was too afraid to fight.

Hopefully I didn't confuse you too much.

Answer 2

Soldiers undergo specialized training to develop skills in combat, tactical operations, and discipline, making them better equipped for military roles. They also typically have access to advanced weaponry, equipment, and support systems. Additionally, soldiers operate within a structured chain of command that enables efficient decision-making and execution of missions.
