Most damning of all is the allegation that Panetta didn’t even care about the current crisis facing the Pentagon janitorial staff, revealed in the exclusive excerpt below:
It was about three in the morning. I had just walked into a pile of garbage in the Executive Break room, and once again we were out of trash bags. General Petraeus had been on another one of his twinkie benders, and debris was everywhere. I knew he was a four-star general, but the man was a human train wreck. So there I was, arms full of trash and suddenly the Secretary of Defense walks in looking for a snack. He asked me how I was doing and I told him about the problem. Instead of saying he’ll take care of it Panetta just rolled his eyes and said “Really? I have two wars to run.”
