Yesterday, the US vice-president called Denmark a bad ally and repeated the threat of a hostile take-over of Greenland.
It has been only three years since Danish troops left Afghanistan where they fought with the Americans for 18 years and suffered the highest casulties per capita of any country including the Americans themselves. For one reason only: To protect the United States after 11/9.
I'm thinking today of our Canadian and Danish allies who answered the call to fight bravely alongside us in Afghanistan. Danish troops kept me alive in Helmand and the Canadians were just next door in Kandahar.
