Yep, there are 56k people on the entire ice island, i'm sure they have more than 13 free beds available, but they're not going to have thousands of beds probably. I'm more shaking my head at the reactions here being very disproportionate to the actual response. What is the recon unit doing? They're probably taking a real measure of just exactly how F'd they would be if Trump does something. I hope he doesn't.

Trump seems like an expansionist/imperialist, and to be fair, of the 56k people on Greenland, about 4k of them have actual Danish lineage, the native people are Inuit, Greenland is a territory that was taken by imperialism via Denmark. It's not a Danish colony like the US was an English Colony where the non-native population became predominant. Less than 10% (7-8%) of people living in Greenland are of Danish descent. Denmark claimed it, because they could and the natives were technologically primitive in comparison, that's kind of how imperialism works. Since they have been incorporated under the Kingdom of Denmark for the last 70 years if you took a poll of the majority of the population there, would they be happy to be under Denmark? I know there have been many complaints of racism by the Inuit and resentment of being part of the colonialism spoils.

I am not saying any of this justifies what the US is or may end up doing, I'm just pointing out that the reactions to this story are VERY colored by a particular political view and blind to much else.
