With the win for the Midshipmen, they improved to 5-0 on the season and the Falcons dropped to 1-4 on the season. It was a huge deal for Hegseth to attend this college football game. After the game, he spoke to the Midshipmen football team after the win. Hegseth also posted this on his Twitter page:

It was good to see this on full display. Air Force still has to play the Army Black Knights on November 1, and Navy still has to play Army on December 13. It will be interesting to see if Hegseth and other U.S.A. politicians will attend those football games or not.

It is not a surprise that many college football fans responded to Hegseth’s post about Navy beating Air Force this weekend. This is how some college football fans responded on Twitter:

There are a lot of good comments in here about Hegseth, especially since he attended the Midshipmen and the Falcons game. It is good to see that he is being a leader of the Navy and all branches of the military in the United States of America.
