The '''DOOP Army''' (sometimes known as the '''Earth Army''') is the protector of all members of the [[Democratic Order of Planets]], such as [[Earth]]. Its motto is "Join the Army, ''What Are You Chicken?''". The Army is often led by legendary 25 Star General [[Zapp Brannigan]] and doesn't seem to care about human life, sending wave after wave of its troops to their deaths on often fruitless missions based on decisions that arguably lack tactical credibility.<br />
<br />
== Troops ==<br />
Men can sign up and drop out at any time, unless, of course, war is declared. Women, however, were forbidden to join the Army before [[3008]], as they had been known to distract male soldiers, specifically Zapp, with their uniforms. It is likely this restriction has been dropped, though, as two female soldiers are seen on board the Nimbus during [[The Anti-Tentacle Blockade of Earth|the anti-tentacle blockade of Earth]]. Earthican [[Robot|Robots]] are implanted with a Patriotism Circuit, which, in case of emergencies, can be activated, forcing them to serve the DOOP Military. The DOOP Army Soldiers wear green uniforms whilst battling on ground, and red uniforms (similar to those of Zapp and [[Kif Kroker]]) whilst fighting in space. The troops also get a 5% discount at Earthican stores.<br />
<br />
== Weapons ==<br />
The primary assault weapon used for ground troops is a type of laser gun requiring a ''Jack-In-The-Box'' style wind-up charging. This charging comes complete with music. The Commander of the Army, Zapp Brannigan, has access to Earth's missiles and other weapons ready to be used during an invasion. The flagship [[Nimbus]] is another powerful resource.<br />

[[File:Gay Robot.png|right|thumb|The {{w|Gay Robot}} makes a cameo appearance on [[Futurama|the show]].]]<br />
<br />
A '''{{w|cameo appearance|cameo}}''' is a brief appearance of an already known [[character]], which is often non-speaking and in the background, and can either be a known ''[[Futurama]]'' character, a character from another series, or a real person. It is often included in a fitting scene (for example, the {{w|Gay Robot}} from ''{{w|Shhh...Don't Tell}}'' appearing in "[[Proposition Infinity]]"), but it can also just be a character walking by in the background such as [[Nine]], a character having multiples crowd appearances before having a major role in [[Into the Wild Green Yonder]].<br />

'''Old Man''' is a man who apparently spent most of his life queuing in front of the [[Central Bureaucracy]]. In [[3001]], he was still waiting for his birth certificate {{et|2ACV11}}. Several years later, in [[3010]], he finished his waiting and asked for his death certificate before he died. {{et|6ACV06}}<br />
