Now that I have your attention...

Seriously, from a civilian defensive standpoint that is?

I know that the .308 bucks the wind better, I know it will generally penetrate better, it should have better terminal effects than the 5.56 over a greater effective range.

But does that really impact general civilian usage?

Please list out what you consider the advantages that the .308 brings to the table from the standpoint of civilian usage, not military.
