* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial "The War Games":The [[Big Bad]] the Warlord is recruiting his warriors from conflicts in Earths past because of humanitys’ talent for war.
* ''[[Earth: Final Conflict]]'' : The Taelons in say they've come to Earth to be our friends, but actually want us to fight their wars for them.
* ''[[Farscape]]'': In the back story {{spoiler|Sebaceans, the [[Human Aliens]] who form the Peacekeeper Military, were originally humans taken from Earth thousands of years ago and genetically modified by a group of Precursors to be a race of soldiers who had no previous quarrel with any of the other dozens of well-armed alien races who wished to make the galaxy theirs. The Peacekeepers lived up to their name until unknown agents (possibly the Scarrans) sabotaged the armistice, causing the Precursors who controlled the Peacekeepers to disappear. With them gone, the Peacekeepers kept peace the only way they know how- with the threat of violence.}} What is notable about the Peacekeepers is the complexity of their characterization: individuals, especially higher-class officers and commanders, vary from [[Complete Monster]]s to [[Well -Intentioned ExtremistsExtremist]]s, but the rank-and-file Peacekeepers, aside from their ingrained xenophobia, are an example of a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|proud ''soldier'' race]], and in the miniseries, while working with the heroes to fight the galaxy-conquering Scarrans, actually come off as heroic.
* In ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' the Tau'ri's relationship with the Asgard is this. The Asgard ask for our help after the Replicators destroy most of their empire and their race. The Asgard's fatal mistake with the technology-assimilating Replicators was making more sophisticated and high-tech designs to counter them, which the Replicators simply absorbed and turned against the Asgard, rendering them largely immune to energy weapons. However, solid projectile weapons are so low-tech the Replicators had nothing to counter with. The Asgard then asked us to help them destroy the Replicators since we were "stupid enough" to defeat them. In turn, the Asgard become one of [[SG-1]]'s most important alien allies.
