Space Force commander fired in Greenland for email critical of JD Vance<\/h3>\n

Space Force Col. Susannah Meyers was fired as the commander of Pituffik Space Base, Greenland after she wrote a memo that appeared to disagree with Trump administration’s rhetoric on absorbing the country.<\/em>

The Space Force officer in charge of Pituffik Space Base, Greenland, was relieved of command Thursday after she wrote a memo that appeared to disagree with the White House\u2019s rhetoric on buying or even invading the small country.<\/p>\n

Space Force Col. Susannah Meyers was relieved for a \u201closs of confidence in her ability to lead,\u201d a statement posted by Space Operations Command on April 10 said. Meyers was relieved following a March 31 email she sent to the 821st Space Base Group in response to Vice President JD Vance echoing President Donald Trump\u2019s rhetoric on taking over Greenland during a visit to the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base,\u201d Meyers wrote in the email, according to Military.com.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Task and Purpose<\/a><\/p>\n

Formerly Thule Air Base, Pituffik is located on Greenland’s balmy West coast well above the Arctic Circle. I never had the pleasure of a visit but know some who have, and the gag line of a long Air Force joke is, “Sir, I’m an E-1 on Thule pumping shit out of airplanes. What exactly are you going to do to me that’s worse?”<\/p>\n

Get fired, I suppose. Another virtue signaling commander relieved for that catch-all of sins, loss of confidence to command. Thanks to Anonymous for the head’s up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
