The purge is ongoing

The commander of the Pituffik Space Base in Greenland [Susannah Meyers] recently visited by Vice President JD Vance was removed from command on Thursday due to a "loss of confidence," the Space Force said in a statement.

"Commanders are expected to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially as it relates to remaining nonpartisan in the performance of their duties," it said.

[...]

"Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump's agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense," [Sean Parnell, the Pentagon's chief spokesperson] wrote.

An official familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News that days after Vance's visit, Col. Sussanah Meyers wrote an email to base personnel that distanced the base from some of the vice president's comments about Denmark, of which Greenland is a semi-autonomous territory.

[...]

During his visit, Vance accused Denmark of failing to provide adequate security against "very aggressive incursions from Russia, from China and from other nations." The vice president underscored President Donald Trump's repeated suggestion that the U.S. needs to acquire Greenland for national security reasons.

[Military.com] reported the ousted commander wrote in an email, “I 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.”

[...]

The removal highlights continued moves for United States control over Greenland as President Donald Trump has vowed to acquire the land “one way or another,” and Vance has repeatedly claimed the island is vulnerable and that the US had “no other option” than to ramp up its presence there.
