Senate Confirms Dan Caine to Lead Joint Chiefs of Staff

By: Gareth Vipers for the Wall Street Journal

The 60-25 Senate vote came in the early hours of Friday after Democrats had expressed concerns about the dramatic firing of a raft of Pentagon officials that also included Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to lead the Navy and to be on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. James Slife, the vice chief of staff for the Air Force.
