How do they plan to handle that some of the memos were made after the person who supposedly wrote them retired?
The guy who retired in '72 is the Guard General, Walter Staudt, who the memo names as supposedly the higher up who Bush is expecting to fix him a way around Killian's "order" to Bush.
Nobody is claiming that Killian, whose (fake) sig is on the memo, had already retired before the memo date of 8-73.
I know this can get confusing.
It's different from, and much worse than that. The guy who allegedly wrote them wasn't retired, but he mentions being pressured by someone else who retired the year before the memo is dated.
