RETIRED AIR FORCE LT. GEN. DAN CAINE TAKES OVER AS JOINT CHIEFS CHAIRMAN

By Allison Kirschbaum

After President Trump fired Gen. Charles Brown as the chairman of the military, he then followed the nomination of Dan Caine as the replacement for the chairman position.

Although the firing was done in a wholesome manner, Trump still gave words of affirmation and a goodbye to Brown, stating a good future for himself and his family.

Dan Caine Appointed as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Trump has appointed Lieutenant General John Caine as the nominee for the military chairman position. This excellent position foresees and prioritizes the American Army, removing unfair treatment and having an ear to listen and take action to make a change.

The highest-ranking military office in the U.S. military is the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Dan Caine would be the next leader as a strong recommendation by Trump, as he wants to have a leader who will not be the roadblock to making the military great again. Several officials in Capitol Hill and the Pentagon stated that Caine is an unusual choice for the position because he is not very well known in the nation.

This is said anonymously due to the concern of not being authorized to speak publicly. In addition, they said that they needed to google the name Dan Caine for it to appear.

Caine’s Recent Achievements

Caine started his new job in November 2021 as the associate director for military affairs at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

His fundamental duty as a recent principal staff assistant and advisor to the Secretary of Defense for the programs focuses on exceptional access control, where he worked with many departments, including a wide range of operational, staff joint and assignment, weapon officer, and a member of the White House specializing in the special operation officer.

Caine served his journey as an F-16 fighter pilot, flying more than one hundred fifty hours of combat in the sky. In September 2001, he was one of the pilots who were ready to protect and offer his life in D.C., making history as the first time ever that a fighter jet was used in the nation's capital.

In May 2018 and September 2019, he became the deputy commander in the U.S., promoting against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, according to his bibliography. In addition, he also served in the National Guard from 2009 to 2016.

Caine achieved many feats in his lifetime journey, but one certainty would be if the president would pursue his nomination as the top leader in the military.

Hegseth Shows Support to Caine

Having strong recommendations from the president and the secretary of defense, the position of the new chairperson to Caine is a clear victory, making it a high percentage in his pursuit of the position.

"Caine's appointment by the president is one effort to bring the new leadership which focuses solely on victory in fighting wars as the core mission," Hegseth said.

Hegseth was provoked into supporting the firing of the former Joint Chief Chairman, Brown, due to his support of the "woke agenda," whose fundamental view is to undermine the readiness of military actions.

Brown allegedly supporting the opposition to military readiness can be a red flag if proven because, as the head of the highest position, these actions are usually considered unethical.

Requirements to be the New Chairperson

Caine doesn't have experience as the Joint Chiefs vice chairman, chief of staff in the branches of armed services, or head of the combat command, which makes it hard to believe he will qualify for the role of Joint Chiefs Chairman.

Although the recommendation puts American citizens in awe because the standards and requirements are not met legally, due to the strong recommendation of the president, the standards can be ruled out if the national interest instantly needs a ruler or a leader.

His biography describes him as a "serial entrepreneur and investor." A statement clearly states that his description is opposed to the required requirement of being the chairperson in the military.
