A shocking scandal rocked the nation’s capital as the Justice Department announced plans to indict Maj. Gen. Ben Meyers on seven grave charges. The retired Air Force general, once hailed as a hero, now faces a maximum penalty of $29,500 in fines and 39 years in prison. The allegations stem from the Senate War Investigating Committee’s probe into Meyers’ wartime procurement practices, which committee witnesses claimed were riddled with corruption and deceit.
