We need one thing to DISPROVE the forgery allegations
This forgery business has to be debunked. Not questioned, sniped at or shot down argument by argument, but debunked. The one thing that will stop all forgery talk is to duplicate this document on an old typewriter that has the same type face.

http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/BushGuardmay4.pdf

Because of the nature of photocopy degradation almost everything anyone on either side has said about these documents is utter crap. All we can tell about these documents is what they say, *roughly* where the letters are on the page and the general design features of the individual characters. On a document this degraded it is literally impossible to authoritatively distinguish most characters... they could be Elite, Courier, Times New Roman or some other serif text face. But every face has a few distinctive characters. In the document linked above the numeral 4 is highly unusual and distinctive. It happens to resemble MS Times New Roman computer font, a fact which has helped dive this story.

Which 1960s or 1970s IBM serif text face has 4's like that? It's a simple question, and if we can find it and it has a "th" superscript as well this story is over.

1. We don't need to disprove a thing.
If the memos are lies and Chimpy took his physical as ordered, let's see the results. There would have been a report of the results.

5. Debunking should be really easy
The original documents have to be somewhere. Find them and authenticate his signature.

And Killian certainly typed more than 4 documents with that typewriter, so there have to be plenty of others in the same style.

7. This is a straightforward and serious question
There couldn't have been more than about 60 IBM faces, so it's not a needle in a haystack. Unfortunately the readily available vintage IBM type samples do not have numerals. If someone can find an exemplar of what I'm asking about in the original post would be a good thing.
