    Ive heard this story before but didn’t know it happened in Ukraine. This guy sounds like a strong SecDef contender.

  2. Geez, if someone had to write a 50-page report every time I partook in an “overindulgence in alcohol”, a few national parks would no longer have trees.

  3. Misleading headline. He did get drunk and showed up hungover to an important meeting, but the classified maps were left behind by a sergeant who was traveling with him. The general accepted responsibility for the loss because he was the senior officer present, but he wasn’t the one who actually lost them.

  4. In April 1944 the American Major General Henry J. F. Miller was at a dinner party at Claridge’s Hotel in London when he publicly blabbed about D-Day: „On my honor the invasion will take place before June 15.“ (D-Day would eventually occur on June 6).

    That he had been a classmate of Eisenhower’s at West Point didn’t help him; he got demoted and sent home.

    I’ve watched enough episodes of „Slow Horses“ to know this isn’t uncommon.

    At least the worst thing I ever lost while drunk was a baseball card I keep in my wallet

  7. And this is precisely why i dont believe in most conspiracy’s.

    People want to tell me that bush/cheney convinced a shadow government to plan and orchestrate an attack on our own people, and yet they would have me also believe that NOT ONE single guy/gal included in these attacks hasnt left a single „Evil Master Plan“ spark notes on the morning bus ride to villian school??

    What the hell was he thinking? You don’t try to keep up the pace whilst with anyone who lives east of the Oder river 🤭

  9. Title is misleading. He was active duty at the time of the incident. He has since retired. Lesson: don’t take eastern European liquor lightly.
