Working Title: Wielding Enemy Weapons: From YKTTW
Scifantasy: Regarding the World In Conflict question why there is so much armament on Liberty, Ellis, and Governor's islands...in '89 Governor's Island was still an active Coast Guard post. If there was a world war on, and I was the President, I'd probably want to defend New York from sea-based assault...not to mention that the Statue, at least, is a pretty important symbol. As to its being undermanned, I can see the bulk of fighting resources being shifted away if there isn't active fighting on US soil.
Renita: I know this isn't strictly the same thing as the trope, but I once saw a ROD/Star Wars fanfic based around the literal concept of a Villains Exchange Program. I was wondering if it'd be OK if I mentioned it here since the trope reminded me of it.
Bob: "ROD"? Read Or Die?
Renita: Yep. Wendy and Darth Vader switch places, much to Mr. Joker and Palpatine's dismay.
MCE: Does this trope also cover units that can permanently turn enemy units to your side?
