I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'resonable american' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'soldier in pub' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'GI' (GI can mean a US soldier).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'pub' becomes 'local' (one's local pub).
'gi' inserted within 'local' is 'LOGICAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?
