2. They look real to me
But I see the argument. I personally think the Bushies are fudging the issue. The forgery stuff is coming from Drudge and FR. The fonts existed then. The 4's looked like 4's. The apostrophes match other Bush documents from the time. Who knows though. I just think I'm sick of American politics and I feel sorry for the people of this country.

4. Back in the early seventies,

I had a fine set of metal balls.

And I could do everything with them (more or less) that can
be done with lasers today. Anyone writing papers about mathematics
had to learn the fine art of popping balls. LaTeX (a number of
years later) was a godsend.

8. All looks legit to me. What bothers me the most is that all the lines
are perfectly paralell.

My forms from the same time period... it was rare for one line to be lined up with the others like that.

Unless the AF redid these forms when they were updated?

also, none of the dates on mine have any spaces... such as

70 Jun 20
or
1 Oct 73

all of mine are like the first couple....
4Sep68 or whatever

and when the year is first it is OCR and called YRMONDA like this
040910
