Depends on where the citation was printed. If it was done at a major headquarters they would have had typesetters, or at least good typewriters. It's the difference betweena Major award and a personal memo.
As I'm looking at those Kerry citations, I see two docs in one PDF file. The first one is from POTUS / Commander-in-Chief. The second one is from the Secretary of the Navy. You'll note that the Secretary of the Navy citation uses a typewriter. The POTUS citation is fully justified with proportional spacing and kerning, which probably means that it was typeset.
This begs the question - if the Secretary of the Navy uses what appears to be a traditional typewriter, what are the chance does an officer in the TexasANG had access to something better?
Why would a 1969 document be superior than a 1986 document in format? I am telling you all there is no way Hyman could have produced such perfect justification and 15 years later the justification is still inferior!
I'll bet this was produced in 1996 (explains the justification) so to remove the mention of Kerry shooting a kid behind a hootch, which he angrily had denied that ever happened that year. Who wants to bet me?
