* ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'s'' Valuan Empire seems to advert this trope for the various mooks seen around. However the higher up the chain of the command you go the less militaristic it becomes. Seems that the Admiral's are hand picked for their individual talents (or political connections) and once given command are free to do pretty much what they want to get the job done. Ramirez for example is Galcian's Vice-Captain at the start, dispite having no background in any military or sailing organizations, and then later given admiralship and command of his own fleet. |

* ''[[Call of Duty]]'' isn't perfect either. In ''[[Modern Warfare]]'', Soap's first day in the SAS consists of two minutes in the firing range, a quick CQB exercise, and then he's off on his first mission, ''as a Sergeant.'' In the real SAS, which you can only join after serving in another regiment, you immediately lose your rank and start at the bottom, and spend weeks going through [[Training From Hell]]. |

** Soap is mentioned in dialogue as just having come out of Selection. He's just ''had'' the weeks of Training From Hell -- this is his first day meeting the operational team he's been assigned to, not his first day in the SAS period. |
