President Donald Trump has appointed retired Air Force General John Dan “Razin” Caine as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff following the sudden dismissal of his predecessor. Caine, a highly respected career F-16 pilot, is known for his strong moral compass and professionalism, according to current and former officials who have worked with him.
Throughout his career, Caine has specialized in special operations and intelligence work, maintaining a low profile due to the classified nature of his assignments. Despite being perceived as apolitical, Caine's selection has raised eyebrows due to his unconventional path to the top military position.
