U.S. Major General left classified war maps on European train, but that’s not even the most embarrassing thing in the Inspector General’s report

A new report from the Defense Department’s Inspector General has detailed serious allegations against now-retired Major General Antonio Aguto. The report says he left maps classified as “SECRET” on a European train and suffered a drunken concussion right before a high-level meeting with then-U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

According to Mediaite, Aguto was in charge of coordinating U.S. assistance for Ukraine from December 2022 to September 2024. The incident with the classified maps happened after he had visited Ukraine. According to the report, the maps were stored in a “black, plastic, unsecured cylindrical tube” that was about 1.5 to 3 feet long.
