For 10 years, Druyun was the Air Force official who decided how much to pay for bombers, fighters, missiles -- you name it.
She had such a reputation for toughness, she was commonly known as "The Dragon Lady." Which is why there is shock that Druyun, one of the most powerful women in Washington, is headed to prison.

In the biggest Pentagon scandal in 20 years, it appears that billions of dollars were doled out to the Boeing Company, as Druyun was accepting personal favors for her family.

(that was the tip of the iceberg. the rest of this long article reveals the list of her crimes. still to be learned is did she work alone?)

1. I saw that story on 60 Minutes the other night. Unbelievable!

If our "government" just got rid of all the scammers (Medicare fraud, no-bid contracts, etc.), there would be millions of dollars left to help our schools, emergency workers, and infrastructure (roads and bridges in need of repair.)
