I have to tell you, I spent 19 years working in admin for the AF....first of all let me tell you, to get an IBM Selectric typewriter in those days took an act of God....you had to jump through hoops to get the procurement approval and they were given few and far between. Secondly, we NEVER typed our own letterhead - it was always printed in blue ink and you got it from supply. Thirdly, I don't know about all offices, but I never typed Memo for File; it was always MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD: followed by SUBJECT: Fourth, when a rank is used, you never used periods, i.e., lst. Lt. is NOT right, it would be lLt. Aand lastly, as I said last night, the signature block was always left margin justified and all paragraphs were blocked - no indention (I put this though I didn't got back and look at the documents to see if the paragraphs were indented. I spent too many years typing these things to not recognize a real piece of AF correspondence. One thing I also noticed, but since I never worked for the ANG I don't really know that this matters, but officer ratings are called OERs (standing for Officer Evaluations Reports) so I'm not too sure where the OETR came from. Just a thought! But the most important thing to me in all of this is that we the people don't have to be force fed the MSM crap anymore...and as has been said over and over, thank goodness for FNC....

Whoever thinks that the White House knew these were frauds but didnt say anything because they wanted to wait until the 60 mins segment aired so that they could make CBS and Dan look like a bunch of fools, raise their hand.

Also, in light of this perpetrated fraud, it should be interesting to see how fast NBC pulls the plug on Kitty.

Obviously, CBS have no fact checkers that ever served any time in the military.
