Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

Indo-Pacific Command is in the Pacific.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

So each one of them has an area of operation.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

JSOC is a subordinate of Special Operations Command.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

They are the ones that hold these guys.

Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

They're given a mission, say, go conduct a counterterrorism operation or snatch a body out of some place.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

And they do it very well.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

But when you're talking about an invasion, you're looking at land routes, logistics operations, sea forces, air forces.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

And they don't do that from a bigger contingency.

So just saying that JSOC had been given the mission to plan an invasion of Greenland.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

Greenland has about 50,000 citizens on the island.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

About 80% of that island is ice.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

So I'm not sure what an invasion looks like.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

Would they take over the towns of Nuuk, which is the capital of Greenland, which has a bunch of very beautiful colored buildings?

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

Do they reinforce what used to be called Thule Air Base on the northeastern portion of the island, which is now

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

I can't pronounce the name, Patafik Space Force Base, which is where the American forces are now on the island.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

I mean, I just don't know.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

Whenever you give a mission to invade somewhere, like World War II, Eisenhower was given a one-paragraph mission.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

Enter the continent of Europe and defeat the Nazi war machine.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

Clear mission.

The Bulwark Podcast
Mark Hertling: The Cowards of ICE

I don't know what the mission would be.
