What should have been the final destination of these documents? Should they have become part of Bush's file? And why the hard-nosed attitude?

These document purport to show an officer that had disobeyed a "direct order" to take his flight physical. Now, as GW's commanding officer that memo should have been carbon copied to all involved up the chain of command plus GW's own personnel file. We can see that no one was copied, no copies from Bush's pentagon files are include his copy. This "commanding officer" either put his own career and credibility on the line by suppressing the memo OR he didn't write the damn things.

Thanks. It would seem to me that procedural inconsistencies might be as valuable in detecting these as forgeries. So we have the apparently extraordinary failure to copy the appropriate people.

As has been pointed out and asked, is it standard procedure to produce your letterhead with each correspondence?
