In what way are they citizen soldiers? The statistics I can find suggest that active duty personnel majorly out reserve personnel.
Active duty personnel cannot be considered citizen soldiers because their service is not compulsory and they are full-time professionals, not merely civilians in service.
Reservists might be considered citizen soldiers, if you're a bit loose with the criteria that service must be a compulsory civic duty.

As you mention a lot depends on what you consider a “citizen soldier” though.
