* A less well-known aspect of the [[UsefulNotes/IsraelisWithInfraredMissiles Israel Defense Forces]] is that while people with disabilities and chronic illnesses are excused from being drafted (Deaf and hard-of-hearing Israelis are the exception - they are not excused from the draft), they are certainly allowed to volunteer to serve in support roles, notably filling many positions in the C41 Corps (Computer Service) and Logistics Corps. Many ''do'' volunteer and find it quite empowering.

* In the world of ''Manga/GoblinSlayer'', this is the fate of gold-ranked adventurers. Due to higher-ups seeing their skill and experience too valuable to risk them getting maimed or killed on some routine quest, they tend to be placed in non-combat roles until a situation arises that warrants their attention. There are a couple of exceptions, such as Sword Saint and Sage (on account of being in a party with a Platinum-ranked adventurer, the one rank higher than gold, and who are pretty much allowed to go where they want), and Barbarian (while the reason isn't stated, it's likely that his lack of tact and [[HairTriggerTemper volatile temper]] make him ill-suited for the trope).

He spends almost a year dealing with L, and six months dealing with Mello and Near, and in between he sits at a desk pretending to be L and misleading the Kira taskforce for ''five years''. Even when the rest of them go off to blow shit up, Light's still at his desk. VictoryIsBoring.
