Listen, I was in the REAL U. S. Air Force in the early 1990's, and spent time (and have LOTS of documentation from) three bases in Air Force bases in Texas: Lackland, Laughlin and Randolph.
I have letters from squadron commanders, wing commanders, and base commanders. EVERY SINGLE DOCUMENT is either an Air Force form or on base/squadron letterhead. No one ever TYPES THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE SQUADRON on a letter or memo!!!! Not even in the the 1970's. Not even in the ANG. And there are no such thing as "unsigned" memos.
P.O. BOX
Any Freeper's out there serve who served in the air guard have a P.O. BOX as their squadron's address????
ALSO...
Every single piece of paper I have, form or letter, was done in a fix-spaced font...either courier or OCR or something arial like. I don't have anything in my collection of documents that uses a proportationally spaced Times Roman font...not from any Air Force Base I spent time at...not from any officer. And this is in the early 90's.
Some doc's I have were printed on the base's mainframe line printer, and it looks it...
These CBS documents are such incredibly obvious forgeries I'm shocked they even bothered to post them.
No doubt in my mind that the CBS idiots created these on their office PC's. Either that, or they came from Ragin' Cajun's word processor directly to Dan Rather. No self-respecting forger would pass something off that bad.
You're right, of course. There in NO WAY IN HELL this is not a modern document. Those of us in the graphics biz, who studied typography.... can only chuckle at the amateurish effort here. I've created several fonts in Fontographer.
This appears to be an amazingly careless forgery... like the suicide note for Vince Foster that appeared and disappeared in one day.
From the same bumbling Democrat hands?
