Following #JDVance's trip, on 31 Mar, Col Meyers is reported to have written: "I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the #US administration discussed by VP Vance on Fri are not reflective of #Pituffik Space Base."
…Appearing to confirm this was the reason for her firing, chief #Pentagon spox linked to the article in a post on X, writing: "Actions [that] undermine the chain of command or to subvert President #Trump's agenda will not be tolerated…."
Last month, #JDVance said #Denmark had "not done a good job" for #Greenland & had not spent enough on security while visiting the Danish territory.
The alleged email, released by a #military news site, told staff Vance's comments were "not reflective" of the base. A #Pentagon spox cited the article, saying "undermining" US leadership was not tolerated.

The #Pentagon finally realized it's not smart to pay $5.1B for IT services from overpriced consultants who probably use Bing to Google things. Maybe next time they'll just download some free apps from the App Store.

„Nach Vance-Besuch: Pentagon feuert Chefin von US-Basis auf Grönland
Nur zwei Wochen nach dem Besuch des US-Vizepräsidenten ist die Leiterin der US-Basis auf Grönland entlassen worden – offenbar, weil sie sich von J.D. Vances Kritik an Dänemark distanzierte.“

The #Senate confirmed early Fri Lt Gen #DanCaine, the fmr National Guardsman & fighter pilot, to be chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff.
Gen Caine is replacing another Air Force fighter pilot, four-star Gen #CQBrown, whom #Trump abruptly fired in Feb.
While Dems expressed concerns about the rash of firings at the #Pentagon, Gen Caine garnered little opposition because the majority viewed him as the best option, given the circumstances.

From AP.com: Pentagon official: US military has no authority to do drone strikes on drug cartels in Mexico
Interview: Musk Stands to Get Even Richer as Trump seeks $1 Trillion Budget for Pentagon
A $1 trillion budget is a record amount since World War II.
The $1t budget is completely unnecessary, & "almost the only beneficiaries are going to be the weapons manufacturers", Silicon Valley defense technology startups, eg, Palantir & SpaceX, included.
