Let’s just start naming all military bases after enemies of the United States.

Why stop at just Confederates?

I think they should change the name of Pituffik Space Base back to Thule AFB, for three reasons:

  • It would show Greenland the orange utan means it when he says he wants to take over their country.
  • Thule is a European mythological name, not some actual planename in a mumbo-jumbo native language, showing proper racist contempt for the people of Greenland in line with this administration's policies.
  • It would remove "Space" in the name, because nothing says ridiculous like having a Marvel-inspired branch of the military.
