The Defense Department announced it had removed the commander of Pituffik Space Base in Greenland after she distanced herself from Vice President J.D. Vance's criticism of Denmark during his recent visit.
Vance lambasted Denmark leaders while visiting Greenland late last month, saying the Danish government had underinvested in the autonomous territory and in its security.
Just days after Vance visited Pituffik, installation commander Col. Susan Meyers sent out an email to staff saying the base did not agree with Vance's comments, Military.com reported.
Space Operations Command announced Thursday night that Meyers had been removed from her command at Pituffik.
"Colonel Susannah Meyers, commander of Pituffik Space Base was removed from command by Colonel Kenneth Klock, commander of Space Base Delta 1, on April 10, 2025 for loss of confidence in her ability to lead," Space Operations Command 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."
Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell shared the statement on social media.
"Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump's agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense," Parnell wrote on X with a copy of the Space Operations Command statement.
The statement said Meyers, who became the commander of the 821st Space Base Group last July, was replaced by Col. Shawn Lee. The 821st runs Pituffik.

I've never been in the military and even I know active duty military is strictly forbidden from making public political comments.
FA...you know the rest
What a moron, horrible judgement, glad she's gone.
Love and enthusiasm for DEI was rampant among the flag ranks, when it was Biden executive branch policy.
An important General landed at Thule AFB at night in his command plane, and the temperature was well below zero. He was impatient, as Generals often are, and when the plane sat on the runway without moving for 15 minutes, he went up to the cockpit to find out what was going on.
He was enraged when the pilot told him they had to wait for a truck to come out to pump out the contents of the toilet before they could move the plane.
He got out of the plane, and as he fumed, he saw a truck drive slowly over, park near the tail of the plane, and a man in a parka got out and with deliberate and slow motions, began the process of hooking a tube up to the plane to empty the toilet.
Enraged and impatient, he stormed back and berated the lowly enlisted man for being so slow, and told him he was going to report him to his commanding officer.
The man, peering at the General from his fur-lined parka hood said laconically:
"Sir. I am stationed at Thule. It is after midnight, it is forty degrees below zero, and I am pumping shit out of a plane. What do think they will do to punish me that could be worse than this?"
The democrat females just cannot help themselves. They have to spout off.
She figures she will be a hero now and get to talk on CNN and all the alphabet channels.
Yikes
This!
She must have been a real gem as a Commander
Oh to have been a fly on that wall, when the Commander found out she was getting the boot from her fiefdom.
Shock, anger, denial and even thoughts of bargaining must have crossed her mind.
All these woke generals and military people are because of demon obama who fired all the generals and replaced them with woke traitors. And NEVER FORGET that the Republicans in the Senate actively helped demon obama accomplish it! Not one word in opposition and they actively helped that domestic enemy fill the ranks with commies.
Maybe she will get another ribbon added to the huge rack of ribbons on her chest indicating she served at Thule. (I will never call it “Pituffik”)
They must be handing out ribbons like candy these days. For everything. I’ll bet there is even a “wiping the ass” ribbon.
Facts... uniparty. Time to repeal the 17th Amendment
Exactly. The military must be subordinate to civil elected authority, as must the bureaucracy.
The entire executive branch is borderline mutinous.
It's a good thing she distanced herself. Now there's even more distance.
What could go wrong, with a Lefty-nut-job girl running a US military base?
Just a tip, hon': In that position you recently held, you're supposed to at least pretend that if there's a war, you'll be on our side.
Make her a Private in charge of Latrines
Trump has an amazing ability of getting vermin to announce themselves, then be willing to off themselves.
He is the Pied Piper against liberals.
Leftists just cannot help outing themselves.
Another one bites the dust...
She should not only be fired, but prosecuted for insubordination!
Great post—lol.
We are going to have to start sending lefties to Mars—one way ticket.
Female Officer do not get the concept of military chain of command obedience. It raises the question that many ask. Will my Lieutenant go over the hill with me knowing she will lose her life in doing so. Thousands of male officers have made this ultimate sacrifice. How many female officers?
Gotta be stupid. New sheriff in town.
