The U.S. military announced on Thursday that it had removed the commander of its Pituffik base in Greenland, adding that it would not tolerate any actions that go against President Trump’s agenda.

The decision to remove Col. Susannah Meyers was announced in a statement by the U.S. Space Force that was posted on social media by Sean Parnell, the chief spokesman for the Pentagon.

While the statement didn’t cite a specific reason for her removal, Mr. Parnell said that “actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump’s agenda will not be tolerated.”

    What’s the over/under on her removal only being because she’s a woman? Went to the top of the removal list only because there’s this bizarre focus on the damned place by Trump otherwise she would have slipped under the radar for a while longer.

    I’ll admit I don’t know much about military strategy but maybe don’t allow the country that keeps threatening to invade a territory to keep a military base in it.

      We’ve convinced Denmark they don’t need to build a large military due to our presence. They most likely will begin reinforcing it, and we will use it as a reason we are now “threatened”.
