Comments on: That Was Fast: More on the Forgery Story http://poliblogger.com/?p=4638 A rough draft of my thoughts...

The Air Force did not start using this letter format until the '90s (check an old "Tongue & Quill" manual, e.g., "MEMORANDUM FOR" and the signature block located in the middle of the margins instead of flush to the left. It is blatantly obvious to anybody who has been in the Air Force for 20 years that we didn't write letters in this format in the 1970's. This is so wrong!!! Find an Air Force admin specialist (AFSC 702X0) from the '70s and ask them if this is what a typewritten letter looked like back then. Somebody has to be made accountable for this forgery!

If the Commander issued an order of this sort in writing, it would be via offical letter, not memo (and would probably include an indorsement for Lt Bush to acknowledge receipt of the letter). If this was a memo to document delivery of a verbal/handwritten order, it would indicate how/when the Commander issued the order. - Only an idiot would keep "personal files" of this sort. It is forbidden by Air Force policy--all actions of this type are to be conducted in an official, above-board manner to avoid the potential for a later IG complaint (which could result in punishment for the violator).
