Last Saturday, almost 70,000 U.S. troops and veterans packed Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field to watch two college football teams with records that could barely be called “winning” go head-to-head for the Commander-In-Chief Trophy.
Usually, when 70,000 American troops are hanging out, they’re either defending South Korea or taking Iwo Jima from the Japanese. This time, it’s for the Army-Navy Game.
Even if you’re not a fan of Army, Navy, sports, America, or fun, you can still enjoy these memes.
