The removal of Colonel Susannah Meyers from her command at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland sparked a wave of misogynistic backlash online.

Byeeee! a woman has no business holding a top position in the military, anyway, beat it DEI! the military is a man's world, the women in this country have to start learning how to stay in their own lane, Geesh, it's not that hard. 🇺🇸

Meyers was relieved of her duties after reportedly sending an internal email that distanced her base from Vice President JD Vance's remarks stating Denmark had "not done a good job" for the people of Greenland.

"I do not presume to understand current politics," Meyers wrote in an email obtained by Military.com. "But what I do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed by Vice-President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base."

The US Space Operations Command cited a "loss of confidence in her ability to lead," in a statement, which was shared by Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell. "Actions to undermine the chain of command or to subvert President Trump's agenda will not be tolerated," Parnell wrote.

On social media, far-right commentators and self-described military veterans reacted with a flood of sexist attacks. Posts ranged from calling Meyers a "worthless sandwich maker" to questioning whether women belong in command positions at all.
