Greenland Base Chief Fired for Disagreeing with VP Vance
Colonel Susannah Meyers, commander of the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was relieved of her duties due to a loss of confidence stemming from an email distancing herself from Vice President JD Vance’s controversial remarks criticizing Denmark. Vance’s statements, which included suggesting insufficient Danish security spending and reiterating past calls for Greenlandic annexation, were deemed by the Pentagon as having been undermined by Col. Meyers’ actions. The Pentagon explicitly stated that undermining US leadership is unacceptable. Col. Shawn Lee has assumed command of the base.
