‘Flags Flying…Tears Flowing’: Gen. ‘Razin’ Caine Honors Pilots’ Families After Heroic Iran Strike

    At a Thursday press conference with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, President Donald Trump's top general, Dan "Razin'" Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke of the emotional moment when American pilots returned home to their loved ones following the strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, recalling "flags flying and tears flowing."

    "When the crews went to work on Friday, they kissed their loved ones goodbye, not knowing when or if they would be home," he stated. "Late on Saturday night, their families became aware of what was happening, and on Sunday, when those jets returned...their families were there. Flags flying and tears flowing."

    "I have chills, literally, talking about this," he declared.

    "The jets rejoined into a formation of four airplanes followed by a formation of three and came up overhead Whiteman (Air Force Base), proudly in a traffic pattern, pitching out to land, right over the base and landing to the incredible cheers of their families, who sacrifice and serve right alongside their family members. Like I said, there were a lot of flags and a lot of tears," he said.

    Last Sunday, Caine detailed how the strike was conducted, stating:

    At midnight Friday into Saturday morning a large B2 strike package comprised of bombers launched from the continental United States. As part of a plan to maintain tactical surprise, part of the package proceeded to the west and into the Pacific as a decoy, a deception effort known only to an extremely small number of planners and key leaders here in Washington and in Tampa.

    The main strike package comprised of seven B2 Spirit bombers, each with two crewmembers, proceeded quietly to the East with minimal communications. Throughout the 18-hour flight into the target area. the aircraft completed multiple inflight refuelings. Once over land, the B2's linked up with escort and support aircraft in a complex tightly-timed maneuver requiring exact synchronization across multiple platforms in a narrow piece of airspace, all done with minimal communication communications.

    This type of integration is exactly what our joint force does better than anyone else in the world.

    At approximately 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time last night and just prior to the strike package entering Iran, a U.S. submarine in the central command area of responsibility launched more than two dozen Tomahawk plane attack cruise missiles against key surface infrastructure targets at Esfahan. As the Operation Midnight Hammer strike package entered Iranian airspace, the U.S. employed several deception tactics, including decoys, as the fourth and fifth generation aircraft pushed out in front of the strike package at high altitude and high speed, sweeping in front of the package for enemy fighters and surface-to-air missile threats.

Regarding the recent Israel /Iran Conflict (the "12 Day War"), culminating in the United States Air Force employing seven B2 Bombers to complete a 33 hour flight, dropping 14 fifteen ton bunker busting bombs on three Iranian nuclear facilities buried deep under mountain rock, which destroyed Iran's nuclear ambitions against Israel and the United States: Should President Trump have unilaterally made the decision to make such a bold decision to conduct this operation, without first running this prospective operation before the US Congress for their approval?

No, The War Powers Act prohibitions, which requires NO presidential military action without congressional approval.

Yes, the President has Article 2 Constitutional authority to take unilateral military action to protect the American People, providing he does not break congressional codes, which he did not.

Don't care, never have.

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.

Just one night ago on July 4th after the waterfront fireworks display, I spoke to a Washington resident who was concerned about the amount money appropriated to the military in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025, which is a massive budget reconciliation act.

His idea was to take 1/2 of the military, when not needed when on a war footing, was train these military men to develop vocational skills to become a workforce of expandable utility in various communities.

While this idea, on its face, may able as noble hypothetical initiative, the thought, moreover, demonstrates a profound lack of understanding why the United States has the standing military that it possesses at its constant disposal, when properly led by a smart and wise Commander-in-Chief.
