Line 5:
** The web of rivalries is ''very'' confusing: the Army paratroopers have a good relationship with the Marines, but they both hate the regular Army infantry. Meanwhile, the Marines get along well with Army aviation out of mutual dislike for the Navy's carrier-based fighter wings, who for some odd reason have a grudge against Air Force intelligence (but surprisingly, ''not'' the fighter pilots...)
* '''Downplayed''': The Army and Navy of Troperia have a friendly rivalry, but have no ill will towards each other.
** The annual Army-Navy football game is [[Serious Business]] for both forces, but they work together otherwise.
* '''Justified''': The Army and Navy have different cultures and missions, so naturally there's posturing going on about which service is "better"
* '''Inverted''': The Army and Navy hold special ceremonies in honor of each other and have perfect battlefield coordination.
* '''Subverted''': The rivalry turns out to be just a planned joint-act by the friendly Army and Navy leaders to draw the attention of the Troperian president.
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
* '''Enforced''': The producers of ''[[Troperia Land]]'' felt that the show gives an idealized image of the military so the writer was asked to spice it up adding more conflict.
* '''Lampshaded''': "What are you doing? We're on the same side here!" "No we're not, you're in the Army!" "Navy pukes!"
* '''Invoked''': In order to gain
* '''Exploited''': The top military staff of Ruritania exploit the [[Interservice Rivalry]] of the Troperian military to [[Divide and Conquer]]. With the various arms of the Troperian military at odds with one-another and thus unable to effectively counter the devastating combined assault, Ruritania easily marches in and takes control.
* '''Defied''': The Field Marshal and the Marshal of the Air Force have always been bitter rivals, but their immediate subordinates get along with each other much better. The subordinates frequently go against the orders of their superiors and focus on winning engagements rather than taking risks over a petty rivalry.
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
* '''Played For Laughs''': The Army and the Navy are literally tripping over each other to attack an enemy position to the point that they fail do do any real damage whatsoever. The enemy stops fighting them to watch and popcorn is distributed.
