(OP)
Does anyone know why the profession of Civil Engineering is called "CIVIL". I don't buy the argument that the British used it to describe civilian in lieu of "army" engineer. In Greek Civil is called "Politikos". "Politis" menas "Citizen" and "Politikos" politician.....

Therefore a 'Civil Engineer' works on 'non-military' but civilian projects, hence why we have Civil Engineering. Civil Engineer is now recognised far more than the original 'War Engineer', but it is called Civil because it is derived from civilian (both person and nature of project) not because of our bedside manner.
