At this year’s Army-Navy football game at Northwest Stadium in Maryland on Saturday, a crew of West Point cadets will man a tank on the field. But it’s not just any tank.
This one isn’t in the vanguard of a major land invasion or providing mobile fire support for advancing infantry. Instead, with the help of a scuba air tank, it launches t-shirts into roaring crowds at the service academy’s annual football game.
But there’s a catch: The tank only fires when the Army football team, the Black Knights, score a touchdown.

Concerning stories about West Point don’t happen often, but when they do, they’re always a doozy and USMA really stepped in it this time and blew up the internet.

On 3 December 2024, then LTG Christopher Donahue was promoted to four-star general when a Republican senator dropped his hold on the promotion.1 Graduating from West Point in 1992, Donahue had deployed over 20 times with both conventional and special operations forces. He had commanded the 82nd Airborne Division and 18th Airborne Corps stateside and on deployment. Seemingly, it was a well-deserved promotion for an officer who had ‘paid his dues.’
On 10 December 2024, now GEN Donahue took command of the US Army’s Europe and Africa missions.
It’s America’s game — the one day of the year Army and Navy are pitted against each other instead of brothers and sisters in arms. For the players on the field, the mids and cadets in the stands, and the millions of veterans watching across the world, this game means something. And for the rest of America, it’s a time to come together, united in our love of football and freedom.
“It’s such a special game,” USAA’s CEO, Wayne Peacock, told We Are The Mighty at USAA’s Army-Navy Media Row held at the Women’s Memorial in Arlington. “Expectations for Army are really high.
The Navy has dismissed the cases against two SEAL commanders who had been told they would face boards of inquiry in connection with the Feb. 4, 2022 death of SEAL candidate Kyle Mullen, lawyers for the two commanders said.
Mullen died within hours of finishing the Hell Week portion of Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training, or BUD/S. A subsequent Navy investigation determined that Mullen had died of pneumonia, and even though human growth hormone and other medications had been found in his car, Mullen had “died in the line of duty, and not due to his own misconduct.”
