# The best Army-Navy trash talk, in tweets

![A meme with the text "when you take a good look in the mirror" shows a split image: on the left, a football player in a Navy uniform with the number 20, and on the right, a mirror reflecting a tied black garbage bag.](<https://www.wearethemighty.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Screen-Shot-2020-12-11-at-9.15.05-AM-e1607696820914.png>)

On Saturday, December 11, the 122nd Army-Navy football game [presented by USAA](<https://usaa.com>) will be played. While the football may not be the best, the trash talk around the game is always top-notch. Soldiers, sailors and Marines united for their country and divided for one football game. Check out these top Army-Navy game tweets from previous years:

**1. Duffel Bag Drag**

Have to give it to Navy, the uniform is like a duffel bag with a number.

**2. Nice Decor**

They could pass for either bathroom decor or counter tops.

**3. Top Tier?**

![](<https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/NDFEe1J1K03P7QP84FogMc31m_wic2Jan07O68FS0YcI8l0-hZkJDDRFInYRDNEtgwzlhn0_H1lGbFWPg4fxBSQ4v6m_owAunSU3lHO29nz0EkZVdWbciM5qhPLLkzQhomJVUDoNtvoJHwfFcQ>)

I believe the Navy folks would say the same thing about Army.

**4. You Had One Job**

![](<https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/zUiYode1bgqZ6Ek91U_6MHRU2pDm-jSMK7nbCVwqoeS_YspzAhqUWfVl5hMkfwhTrOagBqW5cy2WbbUnlYoqtv-rxNIFJxeHnTWlRG_3R1d1eO6gs813OfdYjfQLvJ0Onc27xKkbM7Uqc0CZuw>)

An epic failure that will never be forgotten.

**5. Ouch**

![](<https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/TJ45xBVqT_c0XfaJ-xDqw9_l7sBvn5bm9dt97kh7nFulm0PhZTp62hw8HEOORnk20-3yvaIm7fk2MKAXL_arnDSUq_-fvcCnEzO_AFhUShl54dZWaUgEphknIlrCLD3mZYAHc2WjJtsV-O1SpA>)

The long-term health effects are real.

**6. A Higher Power**
![](<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/GeWRw7ytIAOpF7v3iYibYwrDnqLxWFNy9zq9z9gHheaFwS-QVi4Tt_PNFKfIoybpQFFyz-qsS2AIDVW7KyY0wiDwlVcoYd06hv2R4MMcZEpd_ktKftlTvnpHm_liLxJFizxCS9NEQFbRUQ6AXw>)

I wonder if the church was on a Navy base.

**7. DVR**
![](<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/YFeI0K00YrFBxc1xRxy98OTHgvo7UCkOQnRMv2S8lNIQLEh8BX5ZiwTSQuYjEIwuEATmq2_jRYu9z_9PE-DiA4NhHOLxSGnNTR9R_9aUgO8kFSuqp3vCpsfNsDaMydJWBPhIXD0bx2Qyv4L0nQ>)

That seems appropriate in 2020 with Navy’s losing record.

**8. Coloring**

![](<https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/Pu6mgrB0x05buwuJts2TrgUrjz3IWeeJNpxSDByD5AMrCsmLwK9ZdyhBrzxZBeFmW-a35tbwanMLiq3IhrTqLQQ4UDcU0MluGEXglntJdSstV-4mFol1b2ptVFVYTHHZkCJmNdbGppp0RfCjuQ>)

Looks like a tough final exam.

**9. Butt**

![](<https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/6rqjJWcbrsBE0zMCFlDhpebloraXOExe1NXBjRWyPw_bXm_IGek4zug1H5aE3OSiO9g72fSF9KCPxRnsZZ0bXYbAj2n58leZobIG20hT580Z2HPIbYLWNeYCrFCBQvz5rHt_Juhiucz7Mdw4KQ>)

I see how it can get mixed up.

**10. Power Move**

![](<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/TkHxvq7YCGdUm4Qun8ACjynZeyuG6YtYbHLwgDyqteq0OpEF3jF7oLPu8XuSs1dtexKJBjEdTApuYvfImUZUtZx-irl3XxwpbN_NPIR0YhMAF6Zsmr4sgtpETCyWHQSbCVm6fLB03gO2swKVfg>)

A big time play to get two carriers lined up for this photo.

**11. Marines**

![](<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/DYjqwKeUk5MDCDQKRYusuM6qbMUFGYjAnpgD296tAFqOo5Y9J4vzMxl0IQF5x8TSJDEeo_3hp7HChs3Jn6EYPZm7mDCWUFhoU1YpnK3P_a9j8beCOlxuBxehU59YVKrOX6bzF4bC6_AH2atvqA>)

This must pain them dearly.

**12. Big Baby**
![](<https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/s0dDG9Mh4hmuy0UKAveqHSxJWQXJiacD8rIDQp20NJWHjSwUhZRcjBKr3yVnRD7uxeOSfgjG7I8uuW-d72PmDWLZm07C_Xnn7ZWPvh13euidrVpNQt7A_i_5dEGJGt4DhSkmQBdRjyYpYojc1Q>)

At least baby elephants are cute.

**13. Look Closely**

![](<https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/f71ymh26EAoIXEu6ITRk77O1RDXksCZRJyMKLXxJGBjRSdELwdrg6pPqMdZgfXyYdwiIybaxCS0_IkUzQJyb2SoXVdhQqXYUZ_JmOMqtr9EsQ6NAh1Cm_XuKzxmDFyRi6kfi4uCvJAdOSR69Jg>)

Have to give a round of applause on getting to the Superintendent’s house.

**14. Snoopy**

![](<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a6JcFuA2Xbhz7kKk7GZ8FLtwlnrW6h9x4wFAcywhUzF7LfjVHLOB_W74x2zr4y7xNNVfo6Of5OfUVs86lZ_Tbg47hzjAjZ15cvKTRuIlsNwAaz2SsVhJQhocN7fssxT_VYMHhRo1f7vrPfncIg>)

I’m hopeful for a high scoring game with a lot of touchdowns.

**15. Tropic Lightning**

![](<https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/YL-OGNmeeq8v222oSr7x7eNHWCqCoLH2_68Drw4iQH3Hct0yZfl0FyVc7FNIzFr8VzAb_F9ySCAzgtwQ0uXFRgM5g19-NsjJuhtzNpZK7WKcpSa0C3vEZqlCd2Z9DtgP5YnETSkvoCRMfjPedw>)

It’s a taro leaf for the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii.

**16. Top Gun**

![](<https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/6ZxeFY6hDwjV3xhaRkZGW3LnbgSPOJnDQamFQdsFTd_X_54b-HYLSN1AALYf5ONhIt4MIbYJt8IAhhtVHTguyeUTm4Dsfo203SpSQXUlipLQuBj8Xfsdn-LyVCb45C0k6xRoC4CPUV5cObKUHg>)

I heard a rumor that Pete Mitchell will be promoted in the new Top Gun movie.

**17. Who Cares?**

![](<https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/bu9nB0rLA_KRFfRNbl5xbq8lFsLDqewRrLfjVI4Xf0W4K7CHxA8VJBRg3c3tMnFx6RszcgmuM9XUIMnRyQevxMTPyPRIfVptdCFB5kB4elx7PLRMwCIG1c5CU_yHNzWnC6NSf7R0OMmifp3nyA>)

Something a lot of non-veterans don’t understand.

**18. What Game?**

![](<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/1mk8hmznTyhXC_hLxEP8R1U90yIAbZ0j43H1lRTD7Y_qMxPUp37ba_2zWUdqZn3y1qVsCr0iijZ9qFuh6BGK8XnywpFjpP3mQkKMWHf7yrHNUSALvskqCLmEHDmpOQH5kPi-3xrPcqnJoS1h_Q>)

Whether you are diehard Go Navy, Beat Army or forever Go Army, Beat Navy, it's going to be a great weekend.
