Civilians... those little buggers.

Waitaminute. Why isn't anyone talking about the other effects an alien invasion?
To give a couple:
When a riot happens, there are some people that benefit from it. Probably there's going to be some thieves or thugs or other such stuff about. Which can be a real pain in the **s if one of them takes an interest to you, or even more so if points are deducted when theft is committed right in front of a soldier and he doesn't interfere.
Old wounds run deep. There might be civilians shooting or fighting each other for vengeance during the chaos.
At least some civilians are going to be armed. They might either make a stand against the aliens, or use the chaos to settle some grudges.
And finally, once word gets around, there's going to be militia groups. You'll want a commanding AI for those. They'll also be better armed on average than the regular civilian.

And then proceeding to either being incapable of using it or shooting themselves in the foot with it.
Sarin:
That'd be an entirely new can of worms. Scenarios like civvie hiding in ruined building, sees an armored figure, shoots at it...turns out to be PHALANX soldier who automatically returns fire...whoops. Civvie dead.

Well, he asked for it....
