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:
“Who are we? And for what are we going to fight? Are we the titled slaves of George the Third? The military conscripts of Napoleon the Great? Or the frozen peasants of the Russian Czar? No—we are the free born sons of America; the citizens of the only republic now existing in the world; and the only people on earth who possess rights, liberties, and property which they dare call their own.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“I was the toast of two continents: Greenland and Australia.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
