Dan Caine’s nickname “Razin Caine” comes from his call sign as an F-16 fighter pilot. But the nickname played a key role in his ultimate selection to be head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because Caine made such an impression on U.S. Pres. Donald Trump when the two met in 2018. The president would later recount how he learned of Caine’s nickname after Caine told him that the Islamic State (ISIS) could be defeated more quickly if the military were given more firepower.
