When Trump met Caine
Caine met Trump during a 2018 trip to Iraq while serving as deputy commander of a special operations task force fighting ISIS. Trump recounted at a 2019 conference that Caine told him ISIS could be defeated in a week.
Trump has repeatedly praised Caine since, calling him a “real general, not a television general” in Miami on Wednesday. If confirmed by the Senate, Caine would replace Air Force General C.Q. Brown, whom Trump recently dismissed. Caine would also receive a promotion to four-star general.
Caine's career path
Caine’s career path is unusual for a Joint Chiefs chairman. He hasn’t led a combatant command or military branch. Trump claimed Caine was “passed over for promotion by Sleepy Joe Biden. But not anymore!”
Caine’s early ambition was to become a fighter pilot like his father. “We started moving around as a kid. So I felt like this was something that I really, really, really wanted to do, was fly jets in the Air Force,” Caine said in a podcast interview. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute in 1990.
