What's so special about this game?

I read the following explanation on Twitter:

A former Naval Academy player gave me the perfect description of the #ArmyNavyGame

“The only game where everyone playing is willing to die for everyone watching.”

RIP to bkf takes on this game. His god emperor trump has surely cleansed them from his demented mind.

Go Navy, beat Army

I come from a big Navy family. This is always the biggest game on my radar. GO NAVY!!!!
 
Army puts together a great drive for the TD. 17 plays.
 
A must see Event. I had the fortune of going twice. Great memories.

Go Navy; beat Army

Did the twitter commenters call him out for excluding Army-Air Force and Navy-Air Force?

This season, Army and Navy had already beaten Air Force. So the winner of Army-Navy won the Commander in Chief's trophy.

I wasn’t talking about who won each game. The tweet said Army-Navy is the only game where the players are willing to die for the fans. That’s not correct because it’s also the case when either of those teams plays Air Force.

Ah. Air Force is the very young stepchild among the military academies. AF didn't start playing the other two service academies until 1959.

Sometimes Army and Navy forget that the Air Force does more than just fly overhead.
 
So is the second weekend in December going to be an Air Force-Space Force and Army-Navy doubleheader?
