Start thinking of DC for what it truly is > not 1 of the 50 United States, a separate entity. And you start to see things a bit differently. You and I are outsiders,, civilians. Couple that with the fact that legalese is a foreign language. That's why words that look and sound like English are defined, they want them to be emphasized. If they wanted civilian defined they would have done it. I've looked, I can't find the definition of civilian in legalese or US code.. I wonder why? They have their own definition for everything...
