** Nicholas Eddington, one of the first people General Diggs contacts when putting together his command staff, turns out to be the grandson of a witch, knows about the Sunnydale Hellmouth, lost two NCOs when his unit was stationed near Sunnydale, and the unit had to kill them when it turned out they had become vampires and were killing their families. His niece, while not a which, is quite sensitive to the supernatural and knows a lot about the occult.

* PullTheThread: How the Ryan Administration found out about the Initiative and the supernatural. In order to keep them in the dark, they had been told the Initiative was an intel group focusing on keeping an eye on the People's Republic of China. To maintain this cover, the Initiative took intel from other US intelligence groups and repackaged it as their own. Then the US and the PRC went to war, revealing the intel was way off, resulting in the Secretary of Defence investigating them post-war to figure out what went wrong, figuring out they were just taking intel from other groups, relieving Billingsly of command and auditing the Initiative to figure out where the money put into it really went, eventually coming across Colonel Joshua [=McCloud=], who reveals what they were really doing and provides evidence of the supernatural.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Averted. Ryan personally thanks Buffy for all she's done, and offers both the support of the US Government, and from his own resources, while Clark hires her to help train his troopers, giving her an extremely good salary, and also puts her on retainer.

* HeroismWontPayTheBills: Played straight at the start, with Buffy working two jobs to make ends meet, but later averted, with John paying her $200 dollars per hour to train Rainbow, and putting her on retainer.

* MugglesDoItBetter: Yes, Buffy could spend time crawling through the tunnels and mapping them out... or John could just have a spy satellite with a ground penetrating radar do a couple of passes overhead.

* OpenSecret: Downplayed, but the Ryan administration appears to be one of the few governments that ''didn't'' know about the supernatural[[note]]In fairness to them, this is because General Billingsly kept him in the dark, and the Initiative was set up to allow for that[[/note]].

** While he hasn't actually been promoted in rank, Vice Admiral Winslow has gone from being [=ComSubLant=][[note]]Commander, Submarine Force Atlantic[[/note]], to being [=CinCSubs=][[note]]Commander in Chief Submarines. Though his title should actually be Commander, Naval Submarine Forces (COMSUBFOR)... and that he was ''already'' COMSUBFOR, since the COMSUBLANT is also considered the COMSUBFOR, with the commander of the submarines in the Pacific being their deputy[[/note]]

** While talking about the submarine USS Connecticut, a Vice Admiral Winslow is brought in, and he says that its commander, Captain Thomas Dodge, is unconventional, but he trusts him implicitly. VP Jackson asks if he's the guy with [[Film/DownPeriscope a tattoo on his prick]].
