Has Biden attended an Army-Navy game as President? #ravensflock

Technically, no. President Biden has not attended an Army-Navy game as president. The last Army-Navy game he attended was in 2012 as vice president.
Regarding saluting, veterans are permitted to salute during the National Anthem according to the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act.
Rules for former presidents saluting are unclear. If President Elect Trump were president, then he should salute as the commander-in-chief

Two presidents being criticized for the most asinine shit... I love the news.

[evilferris]

Ronald Reagan never attended one either.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To be fair, this was not big news across the internet broadly, it was big “news” in a VERY specific niche corner of the internet.

I went to four, as a midshipman. It's a huge pain for everyone present when the President attends.

Unless the president went to West Point or Annapolis, why would anyone expect him to go to an Army/Navy game?

If trump is a veteran, then I’m a bicycle.

Not disrespectful to salute, but he needs some pointers on how to crisp up that salute. That’s weak.

[imjustsam]

As a dude who wants the theme from Team America World Police to be the national anthem I agree.

[zargon]

Anyone else remember when President Obama was roasted as completely disrespectful for saluting during the national anthem?

[osterro]

Finally, Americans argue about the important things!

[iPSCycling]

No word on who actually won the game! Go Navy!

[DavidAllison-qswn]

Commander Bonespurs showing respect for those he called 'suckers' and losers, confirmed by Gen. Kelly. That just inspires service doesn't it?

[vandy]

I think after you get 5 draft deferments you’re allowed to salute in civilian clothing.

[johnduffy]

In 2016, the Army guys cheered Trump, and the Navy guys booed him.

[turkleton]

I’ve never been a big fan of presidents saluting. They’re civilians. That’s kind of the whole point.

The thing to remember about the star spangled banner is that we didn't used to do that at sporting events.It's an ongoing marketing campaign to retain or gain support for our bloated mitary budget. And no, you wont convince me or have any real world answer as to why we spend so much on military when we have terrible health outcomes, huge wealth gaps and uncontrollable homelessness and incarceration rates compared to the rest of the 1st world countries.

George Washington, James Adams, Abraham Lincoln, nor Rachel Maddow have attended an army navy game. Are they foreign agents now?
Asking for their SF86's.

He salutes when he gets off of Marine One as well. He also salutes upon laying the reef at the Tomb of the Unknown.

God I’m so happy you’re from Maryland, now many more people can see how much pride we have in this state for seemingly no reason
