Military Of Greenland
The government of Greenland does not currently have control of Greenland's military or foreign affairs. The defense of Greenland is the responsibility of Denmark. However, following the November 2008 referendum on increased autonomy, which attracted significant popular support (72% turnout, 75% vote in favor) the governments of Greenland and Denmark have agreed to a 30-point package that will begin to reverse these particulars.

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or greenland:
“Nothing changes my twenty-six years in the military. I continue to love it and everything it stands for and everything I was able to accomplish in it. To put up a wall against the military because of one regulation would be doing the same thing that the regulation does in terms of negating people.”
—Margarethe Cammermeyer (b. 1942)
“I was the toast of two continents: Greenland and Australia.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
