(DCWatchdog.com) – President Donald Trump is revitalizing America’s military leadership by nominating a general who once said, ‘I’ll kill for you, sir,’ in a meeting with him as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
This bold move replaces woke ideology with battlefield experience. The decorated F-16 pilot who helped defeat ISIS brings a warrior’s mindset back to the Pentagon.
President Trump has fired Air Force General Charles Q. Brown and nominated retired three-star Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin'” Caine to serve as the next Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman.
At the 2024 CPAC, Trump recalled an interaction with Caine in which he allegedly expressed fervent loyalty to the president.
“‘Yes, sir. I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir,'” Trump recalled Caine allegedly saying. “Then he puts on a Make America Great Again hat.”
Caine’s impressive military career spans over three decades. First commissioned in 1990, he served with the 174th Attack Wing at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base in Syracuse in New York.
Throughout his service, he has flown over 100 combat hours in an F-16 aircraft and logged an impressive 2,800 flight hours total.
If confirmed, Caine would become the first career Air National Guard officer to chair the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The decorated veteran has received numerous military awards that testify to his courage and excellence, including the Defense Superior Service Medal, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star Medal with bronze oak leaf cluster, and the Defense Meritorious Service Medal.
At the same time, Caine played a pivotal role during Operation Iraqi Freedom, particularly in missions targeting SCUD missile sites that threatened American troops and allies.
President Trump has repeatedly praised Caine’s tactical brilliance, particularly highlighting his role in defeating ISIS.
Moreover, the nomination comes as part of Trump’s broader effort to remove what he has described as “leftist ideologues” from military positions.
The administration is focusing on building a lethal fighting force rather than prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that critics say have weakened America’s military readiness and fighting spirit.
Predictably, some former Pentagon officials have raised concerns about Caine’s nomination, citing business ties and the fact that he would need a waiver as a three-star general rather than the customary four-star rank.
Supporters also emphasize his exemplary military record and strategic mindset are precisely what America needs to rebuild military strength after years of progressive policies undermining combat readiness.
Caine’s nomination now requires Senate confirmation, where patriots will have the opportunity to support a battle-tested leader committed to protecting American interests at home and abroad.
For conservatives and military families tired of social experiments in the armed forces, Caine represents a return to the core mission of maintaining the world’s most lethal and effective fighting force.
