So far we have not seen any evidence of resistance from the military

Yeah, this line doesn't read like resistance to me.

“The generals think Trump’s Greenland plan is crazy and illegal,” a diplomatic source told the Mail. “They are trying to deflect him with other major military operations. They say it’s like dealing with a five-year-old.”

They don't want to do Greenland because that'd look bad. Hopefully they won't learn that most Greenlanders aren't actually from the Nordics, but rather Inuits, because we know the U.S. stance on non-white populations.
