In a decisive early-morning vote, the Senate confirmed retired Lt. Gen. Dan Caine as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, putting a battle-tested patriot back where he belongs—at the center of American military command under President Donald J. Trump.
With a 60–25 vote, Caine was confirmed despite liberal whining, procedural tantrums, and the predictable wailing from the anti-Trump establishment. His return to uniform marks a full-circle moment in the President’s second term as he reshapes the Pentagon with warriors—not political lapdogs.
Caine, a decorated F-16 combat pilot and seasoned special operations leader, brings to the table something America desperately needs: grit, discipline, and a laser focus on winning wars—not waging diversity seminars.
Trump’s Pick, America’s Gain
Gen. Caine’s nomination came after President Trump fired Gen. Charles Q. Brown—a Biden-era holdover whose woke priorities and lackluster leadership drew ire from within the ranks and MAGA conservatives alike.
Caine’s career reads like a warfighter’s dream. With 2,800 flight hours, including 150 in combat, and top posts in special access programs at the Pentagon, the man has operated at the highest levels of military secrecy and intensity.
He’s not a desk jockey. He’s not a woke consultant. He’s a soldier’s general.
And even though a technicality in the 1986 law says a chairman should be a service chief or combatant commander, President Trump waived it—because when national security is on the line, we don’t need bureaucrats. We need warriors.
“Dan Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a warfighter with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“Alongside Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Caine and our military will restore peace through strength, put America First, and rebuild our military.”
Democrats Cry, Trump Leads
As usual, Democrats tried to sabotage the nomination. Led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Left whined about “process,” “firing career officials,” and other nonsense. But what they really fear is Trump’s total restructuring of the Pentagon, which for years has been run by risk-averse paper pushers who couldn’t fight their way out of a sensitivity training class.
Warren and company even tried to delay the vote by blocking a procedural shortcut, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune made sure the vote happened anyway—proving once again that Trump’s allies are getting the job done while Democrats throw fits.
Caine was ultimately confirmed with bipartisan support—because even some Democrats know you don’t play politics when the world’s on fire.
Restoring the Warrior Class
Caine has promised to remain apolitical and serve as a direct, honest adviser to the Commander-in-Chief—a refreshing change from the Pentagon’s last crop of woke generals who spent more time testifying about pronouns and climate change than defeating enemies.
During his hearing, Caine even agreed to a ban on working with major defense contractors after his term, proving he’s not another swamp creature looking to cash out. He’s here to serve the Constitution and the American people.
And for those asking where this partnership began, President Trump and Gen. Caine go back to the first term, when they met during a trip to Iraq. Trump credits Caine with playing a key role in the destruction of the ISIS caliphate—a feat that the Biden regime never matched.
Conclusion: The Right Leader at the Right Time
In a dangerous world full of rising threats—from Iran to China to global terror—America needs more than diversity officers and political generals. We need warfighters. And in Gen. Dan Caine, President Trump just gave us exactly that.
Under Trump, the Pentagon is back in the hands of warriors who know how to win—and the enemies of America are about to feel the difference.
