Dan Kane may not be on Washington's radar before Friday night.
But the magic of President Donald Trump with a three -star retired general appears to be his sudden choice to become the next president of the chiefs of staff, returning to their first meeting in Iraq in 2018.
Trump told Kane, the deputy commander of the Special Operations Squad, which fights the Islamic State, told the president that the armed group could be destroyed in just one week.
Since then, he told the story about how Razin Kane met several times – praise has grown more chapters.
Trump said in Miami on Wednesday, two days before his reality, a real general, not a television general, said.
If the Senate approves it, Kane will take over an army that is subject to a change in the first 30 days of the Trump administration and the inheritance of one of the joint pillars that Trump's fire shaken to the head of the joint chiefs of staff, the air Air Force CQ.
Kane, a F-16 retired pilot, will be upgraded to a four-star general, then he must undergo a confirmation of a possible Senate to obtain a four-year period as a president wearing a military uniform in the country.
Only last month, Kane joined the investment capital, known as Shield Capital.
His LinkedIn's profile showed that starting last month, two other investment companies were associated with.
Unconventional choice
The military profession in Kane is far from the traditional path to become the best military advisor.
The former generals and Admiral led a combat command or a military branch to serve.
Kane did not rise to an increase in the ranks before retirement.
According to Trump, “he was transferred to upgrade by Sleepy Joe Biden.”
“But not anymore!” Trump wrote about the social truth.
Earlier this year, Kane described the podcast how a young man wanted to follow in the footsteps of his father, a fighter pilot.
“We started moving as a child. So I felt this was something really, really, really, really, really, is the air force aircraft.”
He graduated in 1990 from the Virginia Military Institute with a Bachelor's degree in Economics.
Kane, who flew more than 2,800 hours in the F-16, was one of the pilots assigned to protect Washington on September 11, 2001, when the base criticized commercial aircraft to the Pentagon Center and the World Trade Center in New York City.
Kane realized that he might have to shoot down a kidnapped plane if someone crossed his way.
“I was very aware that if we were committed by mistake or if we made a mistake or if we missed someone and we did not shoot, the consequences of this may be disastrous,” Ken, who also conveyed T-37 and T-38 aircraft, and said in an article published on the agency website Central Intelligence.
Kane has occupied a number of jobs in the capital since 2005.
He was a special assistant to the Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and then the Director of Policy to Combat Terrorism at the White House of Internal Security Council.
According to his official biography of the Air Force, Kane was a part -time member of the National Guard and a “businessman and serial investor” from 2009 to 2016.
He was recently the Assistant Director of Military Affairs at the CIA, before his retirement late last year.
But his time was in Iraq from 2018 to 2019, which helped him attract Trump's attention.
Kane will be under a special scrutiny to ensure that he is non -political, and is a source of concern that is increasing the launch of Friday night from Brown, a four -star general. Unified military officials are supposed to be loyal to the US constitution and independent of any party or political movement.
A senior American military official said with Kane for more than a decade that he would seek to keep the army out of politics.
Kane “puts the mission and forces above politics. The official said,” He is not a political youth. “
The official added that when Kane discovered that he would be chosen by Trump, his first interest was that Brown was taken care of and treated with respect.
The extent to which Cain maintains the army's keeping out of politics to a large extent on Trump – who in the past withdrew the army to party issues.
In the recent reformulation of their first meeting in Iraq, Trump said that Ken was in the fold of the aircraft where the members of the service began to put caps “make America great again.”
“They all put a hat that made America a great again. Trump said during the speech last year:” He is not supposed to do so. “
“I said, you are not supposed to do it. You know that. They said,” It's okay, sir. We do not care. “
