* After the "Day Of Chaos" arc in ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' leaves Justice Department badly understaffed with street judges, especially due to the destruction of the Academy Of Law, standards for street evaluations for Rookie Judges to earn their Full Eagle drop dramatically in order to try and fill the gap, resulting in street judges that would ordinarily be unfit for duty. Other measures are brought in, such as retrainees, who are judges transferred in from other Mega Cities, and the reactivation of the controversial Mechanismo project.

* ''Literature/StarshipTroopers'': Subverted, both ways. When the war ramps up, the Mobile Infantry (whose boot camp in peacetime weeds out 90% of recruits) amps up the difficulty by condensing the program and abolishing the recruits' free time. On the other hand, since military service is the only path to citizenship, the military is legally obligated to find a position that is harsh enough that a suitable reward for it is citizenship, for anyone who wants the chance to become a citizen. Someone who joins but is wheelchair-bound is obviously not going to the infantry, but the only way the military can legally turn someone away is if they are incapable of understanding the meaning of the oath of service.
