Just a few questions about the DOOP army. First off, if it's a UN-style organization, why do they need an army of such massive size? Second, if its the "Democratic Order Of *Planets*, why does it consist mostly of humans? It also seems that it protects Earth more than anything else (WITHW, ATOF, WAA). Third, how did Zapp reach his rank? I know that he reached noteriety(sp) via his strategy of "send wave after wave of soldier", but how did he get to the rank to command in the first place? Does he have friends in high places, or was it just dumb luck?
EDIT: I wasn't sure if this should go in HR or Weird Scenes. If I got it wrong, please move it.

As far as I know, Zapp's got NO memory charms.

The DOOP was also likened to the United Federation of Planets in "Star Trek", by a bureaucrat nonetheless and we all know how anal and by-the-book those guys are. The UFP have a massive military, Star Fleet, since it foreign-, defense- and trade-policies as well as diplomacy fall under it's jurisdiction. DOOP most likely have a similar role, but still grant it's members some autonomy in minor issues. Third, how did Zapp reach his rank?

Does he have friends in high places, or was it just dumb luck? Bribes, nepotism, contacts, blackmail, or all of the above.

Zapp likes him, and since he is a 25-stargeneral webelose-somthing-or-another, he get his wish.
I think one the reasons why we only see Earth-invasions is that Earth is the only planet foolish enoug to provoke galactic powers stronger than itself. I mean, they should just put out for an invasion-supscription with the Omicronians, much cheaper and easier to plan for.
