Because a military operated solely by loyal incompetents has worked out so well for Russia.
She is a patriot. Col Susannah Meyers deserves a medal, and I'm sure she would do 10,000x better as VP than the jerk we have now.
Vance seems smart, and obviously he married outside his "race" so somewhat open-minded. Which means he is acting out of pure conscienceless ambition. IMO worse than Trump, who is an evil idiot.
Maybe he married outside of his race because she's a hot piece of ass and out of his league and he didn't put much more consideration into it than that?
If he was actually bothered by race Vance wouldn't find her attractive.

undermining
Prior to the base commander commenting and destroying his effort, Vance was on totally firm ground and had pretty much convinced the entire population of Greenland.

Chain-of-command means orders come from your immediate superior doesn't it? Adding "Or to Subvert President Trump's agenda" pretty much nullifies that and by default makes our military on par with Russia's. Good weapons do fuck and all when not used as intended.
Putin must be laughing his ass off at how effectively he's destroying the US military without firing a single shot at it.

Yeah this. Very much.
Without Trump Putin would've been finished, but since Trumputler, Russia is still an actual danger to the world.
Russian disinfo is just so fking prevalent and idiots fall for it. And most people are idiots.

That's not what chain of command means. It simply establishes the hierarchy. Commands can be given by anyone who outranks you, or holds a billet that comes with higher authority. Trump and Vance at the top of that chain and can issue legal orders to literally anyone in the US military.
Not that the rule of law matters, but the VP is not in the military chain of command. There is no vice commander-in-chief. It goes pres then his Chiefs of Staff/Generals.
Of course they could just lean on the undermining trumps agenda of stripping Greenland of its resources, but that's not why the base was there. Or I guess that is why it's there now.....idk.

They can issue orders. Not all are legal. But since they replaced the JAGs, this might be closer to reality.
Hopefully they all remember their oaths of enlistment are to the Constitution first, THEN the president.

It's one for the books to be sure. Also there are a huge portion of Americans cheering it on because they're too stupid to know better.

Replacing base commanders is very indicative of a potential military coup
I don't think it's a coincidence that they are a woman.
Pshaw! What's a woman doing in space? Get rid of her! Also, let's get rid of those Sigourney Weaver DEI alien movies from the Library of Congress as well!

Did she say thank you?
Not enough!
Surely this won’t do anything to undermine an already plummeting morale.
Gotta have that rock bottom morale for the upcoming war with former allies.....
Loyalty to trump takes precedence to the truth.
JD Vance is the biggest fucking pussy I have ever seen
He has neither the depth nor the warmth.
His loveseat does, though.

can't Greenland ask to evacuate that American base? its clear the US won't try to help Greenland without having them paying a hefty price anyway
I think the base is more for US benefit than Greenland.
Right but its their country so they should be able to clear the base if they desire
Say it to Cubans.

Old BBC series, 'I, Claudius.' History of the first five Roman Emperors, with Brian Blessed as Augustus and Patrick Stewart as an ambitious general.
Relevant because of Caligula. He didn't fall because he was a violent tyrant. He fell because he lost the support of the military.
Hopefully, Trump will miss that idea...

View 1: you should follow chain of command as a unified command is necessary for military operations. Any personnel going against the direction is counted as rogue. (benefits military)
View 2: Public Relations of the country you are in requires the ability to deescalate situations and unwind tension, thereby requiring the communication of separation. (benefits local units and local community)
View 3: moral obligations of one's self pushes you to do the right thing. (benefits self and possibly local unit)
In my opinion, I believe this was an action of view 2 and also happened to include view 3. But that's just like... My opinion.
It's literally against the UCMJ to take part in political action as a uniformed member of the military. To me it sounds like she was trying to "cya" and of course, this administration has such thin skin that they couldn't have someone do that.
