In New Zealand your indoctrinated/encouraged to believe being non-civilian is a medal all of it's own. There is something privately special about this, like Steve said about it being a 'club'. This in no way reduces respect for civilians, but surely would make it hard to return one to a civilian as a pure reaction.
