Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A member of a service who is successful despite (or even ''because'' of) their flouting of the rules.
* '''Straight''': Master Sergeant (of the Tropeland Air Force) Robert T. Tropesmann, the flight lead of Omega Squadron (as Omega 1), tends to be a wild jackass whenever he feels like it. In spite of his flagrant flouting of the rules, he's still not even ''demoted'' or had his ''pay docked'', let alone dishonorably discharged. The reason being is that he's the military version of the CowboyCop: A comically disrespectful lout who AlwaysGetsHisMan in the end (or in Robert's case, finishes the job).
* '''Exaggerated''': ''Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force'' Robert T. Tropesmann had only been capable of achieving this rank ''because'' of his rampant rule breaking: There are multiple {{Noodle Incident}}s, from the time when his cockpit was once mysteriously filled with the smoke of cannabis, to the countless times he's been discovered with another Omega Squadron pilot in bed (He's pretty much banged ''[[ReallyGetsAround ALL of Omega Squadron, male or female]]''), to the fact that ''every'' mission involved at least ''three'' separate war crimes, to the countless times he'd been BuzzingTheDeck, and to that one time when he was once discovered in bed with ''the Tropeland President himself''.
* '''Downplayed''': While Staff Sergeant Robert T. Tropesmann is a bit of a dick at times (the worst he'd do is BuzzingTheDeck), he's still Tropeland's AcePilot.
* '''Justified''': Robert is such a good AcePilot that he's pretty much absolved of ''any'' crime he'd do because he'd finish the job. Everytime he does, upon touching down back at base, he'd get the typical ArsonMurderAndLifesaving speech.
* '''Inverted''': Airman Basic Alice [[TheVonTropeFamily Von Trope]] of Kappa Squadron (as Kappa 88) is a LawfulStupid InsufferableImbecile who can't get anything done, and as such she's pretty much CaptainCrash with ''every'' mission, even if she ''never'' breaks any rules as she bails out of her burning plane.
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Robert's rule breaking tendencies and his competence vary... Wildly, to say the least.
* '''Averted''': Robert is a NiceGuy and still Tropeland's AcePilot.
* '''Enforced''': The CopShow made the CowboyCop famous. MilitaryAndWarfareTelevision can surely do the same by having this trope!
* '''Lampshaded''': "Shit, when's Omega 1 getting booted? That bastard's been running amok for so long!"
* '''Invoked''': The Tropeland Air Force hires Robert while he's still a mercenary, and they take into consideration that any rule breaking he may do is part of [[DeliberateInjuryGambit everything that goes under collateral damage]], because he's so damn good that rules are totally beneath him.
* '''Exploited''': Alpha Squadron of Wikistan notices a secret chokepoint that Omega 1 missed while he was too busy dive-bombing Wikistan naval ships, and they sneak into said chokepoint to get into a vital Tropeland area that Omega 1 was supposed to be protecting.
* '''Defied''': "Robert, you better stop breaking some ''fucking'' rules before I personally get to dishonorably discharge your sorry ass myself. You wanna know how much damage you've caused? ''Two million Wikistani civilian lives are taken in '''EVERY MISSION THAT FEATURES YOU'''''. That's how much damage you cause when we hire you."
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
