    Dude. Every greenlander probably knows how to shoot a rifle and survive in polar bear land. This is like Vietnam but with fucking bears and Vikings.

      Greenland has an incredibly high proportion of indigenous, so not vikings. It also lacks much foliage at all, much less dense foliage. And it has a relatively tiny population.

      That said, a war of raw imperial acquisition would launch the US into a civil war before a soldier set foot on Greenlandic soil i think. And, yes, I recognize that there is a base already there.
