Army general left classified maps on train, concussed after 'overindulgence' in alcohol: Inspector general report

Source: the hill

U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Antonio Aguto, who oversaw the command that coordinated, trained and equipped Ukraine’s military, left a tube of classified maps on a train to Poland for more than 24 hours and was concussed from falling after “overindulgence” in alcohol during a dinner in Ukraine, a recently released Pentagon inspector general report found.

The 56-page report, which was published on Friday, found the now-retired two-star general, who led the Wiesbaden, Germany-based Security Assistance Group-Ukraine (SAG-U), brought the classified maps during a trip from Germany to Ukraine in late March 2024 and assigned control of them to his staff. ..............

Aguto was the head of the SAG-U, which was established in November with about 300 personnel to “ensure America is postured to continue supporting Ukraine over the long term,” until August 2024, when he retired.

The probe also included allegations of a “toxic” environment at SAG-U headquarters, although Aguto was not liable for the unit’s issues.

Better yet, General Aguto doesn't look a Hegseth Warrior, wrong skin tone, that will help point out how DEI was destroying the Army.

Terrible breach of duty and he deserves anything coming to him, clearly he retired with a purpose.

But God damn it, he is going to get punished for his fuckup, while everyone from Trump on down literally get away with war crimes, murder, and corruption on an unimaginable scale.

Note the thorough investigation, report, and release of information to media. Not so much on other such breaches of comsec, opsec, etc. I am looking at you Pete Hegseth!
