The Senate confirmed retired Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to lead the Joint Chiefs early Friday morning — elevating a little-known three-star general just seven weeks after President Donald Trump fired Gen. C.Q. Brown from the post.
Caine overcame doubts about his qualifications and ability to remain apolitical, and was confirmed in a bipartisan 60-25 vote to serve as the top military adviser to the president.

Excellent news...

I’ll have to see.
Generals with cute nicknames have disappointed greatly before.

I thought it had to be an active duty 4 star. I guess not.

I thought it had to be an active duty 4 star. I guess not.A retired officer can be recalled to active duty. The 4 star rank is an appointment. It can be done and just was.

Any nominee that gets more than 1 or 2 rat votes is suspect

Okay, who here has come up with an attention-grabbing nickname for yourself to grab your big boss’s attention at work?
To: Beave Meister
Bi-Partisan support at that amount is NOT a good sign.
Looks like another Plant, by the Deep State.

I’d rather there not even be a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Better that each Chief gives his own advice to the President.
