The Old Media trying to make these memos valid is like watching someone perform CPR on King Tut.

And yet nobody has come close.

the technology existed to go to the moon, too, but not likely your local ANG unit was doing so...

You forgot to mention that their *own* expert said the documents were most likely forged. Why did you leave out that part?
To: chunkycheese
Four (other) authorities interviewed by USA TODAY, including typewriter and type font experts, said the technology existed at the time to create the documents. Yes, if it was typeset. But not in an office using office equipment. If you believe otherwise, please tell us what the equipment is, we would all love to know.

I guess someone needs to produce an un altered typewriter from that period. Then they need to explain why the military would pay large sums of money for a custom typewriter.

...except the office technology used by the average military unit in the 70s was c.1950s.

I've seen the documents recreated with the Word program, but has anyone recreated them with an actual 1960/70's era government/military issued typewriter?

Two points when you read such reports:
1. Were all these technologies embodied in one typewriter in 1972?
2. That theoretically the technologies existed for this even if embodied in a typewriter or similar machine does not mean that Tex ANG had such a machine. When the chance is low, we also need evidence that Tex ANG had such a machine.
Personally, I doubt this is write due to the centering issue.

USA Today doesn't name their "experts" in the article.
Shocking, eh?
To: chunkycheese
The "technology" to create these documents (i.e. the spacing of the letters, etc....) has been around since long BEFORE 1971 - somehow I doubt though that LTC Killian sent his memos to a typesetter . . .
