“I’m not going to commit to that,” he said, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military. “It might be that you’ll have to do something. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.” He added, “We need Greenland for national security purposes.” Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a longtime U.S. ally and a founding member of NATO.

    Get the restricted, it’s usually just an extra couple hours after the regular PAL training class if you talk to your instructor and pay an extra $50. And go with friends, it’s actually kind of a fun course. I went with my wife and friend just to sit in as I was grandfathered in for the PAL and FAC before that.
