President Donald Trump mocked Greenlands defense by pointing to Denmarks Sirius Patrol, a dog-sled unit that operates in the Arctic.
But what he missed is that the Sirius Patrol isnt a weakness its Denmarks secret weapon. The Sirius Patrol is an elite Danish Special Forces unit that has protected Greenlands sovereignty for over 76 years. Six two-man teams patrol more than 16,000 square kilometers of Arctic coastline using sled dogs in conditions where vehicles and aircraft fail.These soldiers operate for up to five months without resupply, in temperatures as low as -55°C, carrying hundreds of kilograms of gear.
They are trained in survival medicine, navigation, weapons use, and Arctic warfare.
Their mission? Defend Greenland from foreign military activity, monitor the Arctic, and enforce Danish sovereignty in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
This isnt a dog sled unit. Its a sovereignty machine.

Dogs are decent judges of character, so I'd imagine they hate him as well

Real different when a dog grabs him by his pussy?

I doubt he'd last a day. Only, I'd never wish him on loyal public servants like the members of Denmark's Sirius Patrol.

Hegseth would be so intimidated! Plus he'd need to pull an extra sled just for his beverages.
