* FakeAmerican: Texas native Billy Lynn is portrayed by Englishman Joe Alwyn in his film debut.
** Apparently, his accent was so convincing that SteveMartin spent the better part of filming believing him to actually be an American.

* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Billy hooks up with one after a press conference.
* Expy: Norm Ogelsby (SteveMartin) is one for real-life Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
* CulturedWarrior: Sgt. Shroom (Vin Diesel) definitely fits in this category, as he spends his spare time reading poetry and discussing philosophy with his squadmates.
* CaptainSmoothandSergeantRough: Though their both Sergeants in this instance, Shroom is portrayed as more laid-back and philosophical while Dime is quicker to discipline his men when necessary.

This becomes fairly obvious when you have close-ups of the character's interacting with each other, with their hair or the environment conveniently blocking their faces from the camera.
* MildlyMilitary: Played with. Off-duty, the squad is shown to engage in such activities as alchohol-infused hotel room parties with strippers, hookups with cheerleaders, and introspective joint-smoking. Their Sergeant, however, does maintain fairly strict discipline when in public, and is shown reprimanding Billy and Mango after they go joy-riding in the company Humvee.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The Dallas football team is never actually referred to by name as the Cowboys, though this is not very surprising considering the film's less-than-flattering portrayal of it's employees and fans. This extends to the character of Norman Oglesby being a fairly blatant stand-in for real-life Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones.
