President Donald Trump’s At a meeting in Iraq, retired Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine, who chose to become a senior U.S. military officer, attracted himself to the commander-in-chief through his military call “Razin”. Officials who served in Caine described him as Saturday’s measurement and non-political.
Trump said Friday night that Kane was the choice of his next chief of staff co-chair, who announced the news in the same social media post where he fired Air Force Lieutenant General CQ Brown Jr .Profession as a historical fighter pilot.
Brown’s strike – followed by other military leaders – Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth launched officers who supported diversity, equity and inclusion. The New Republican government said it focused on deadly combat effectiveness.
Kane retired in December. It is unclear what it takes to recall him to active service so that he can confirm through the Senate.
Caine does not meet the prerequisites for the position, such as serving as a combatant or service chief, which, as provided by the 1986 law, does allow the president to waive these requirements.
Chris Miller said: “I know he is unconventional, but that’s what this administration calls for.”
Miller told the Associated Press that Kane “absolutely knows how the Pentagon works.” Kane also has experience in the National Guard and works in the private sector.
“He spent some time as a citizen soldier. This guy has gone out and done other things. He brought a view of the chairman rather than the tradition, and I think it would be a breath of fresh air.”
Trump’s relationship with Kane can be traced back to his first administration. As Trump said in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference or CPAC in 2019, they met on a trip to Iraq, and he spoke again on Saturday.
Trump said he asked Kane why it would take another two years to end the fight against the Islamic State group. Caine told him that if he did it, it might be only a week.
“‘We only hit them on temporary basis in Syria.” “But if you allow us to allow, we can hit them from behind, from everywhere – from where you are now, now, gentlemen. .'”
One question after Brown’s dismissal is whether Trump is seeking loyalists as chairman of the United Emirates. Trump praised Caine and condemned the current military leadership during his appearance in Miami last week.
Trump said two days before his Truth Society post: “General Razin is Razin’Caine, he is average. He is a real general, not a TV general.
“We have the greatest military in the world, but we don’t have the highest leadership capabilities. That’s why Afghanistan is such a horrible situation, so awkward, and there are many other things.” “But, when We want to have proper leadership and no one even approaches us.”
Trump had previously suggested that Kane was a political supporter. Last year, Trump recalled meeting Kane while visiting troops in Iraq in 2018 in a CPAC speech.
“He said, ‘I’ll kill you Mr. Trump.” “And he put on the hat of ‘Make America Great Again’.”
However, Kane has remained unwavering, with an officer serving with him and maintaining close ties with him.
The official said: “General Kane has no magazine hat.
While serving in the Pentagon, former acting Secretary of Defense Miller led the Central Office of the Army’s Special Visits Program, which oversees the sharing of classified information about weapons programs with foreign governments.
“It’s one of the most difficult places all because of all the interests of Congress. You have to be very good at dealing with all the constituencies,” Miller said.
Caine flew the F-16 fighter like brown. Last month, Caine completed his CIA assignment and detailed his life and career in the episode of The Arterburn Podcast on January 27.
“I’m the son of a fighter pilot. This is our family business,” he said. He and his father both started his military career flying the F-4 Phantom and eventually the F-16.
In the podcast, Caine sends a message to young people who want to serve or those who have already flown: “Give it a treat,” Caine says.
“Also remember that at least when flying a plane in the military, it’s a cool cool, and it’s a deeper thing,” he said. “It’s about serving our country. It’s about being willing to protect and defend. This country.”
