Come off it, Dan, anyone who used a typewriter knew the trick of lifting

And makes the letters tiny?

The forgeries were almost certainly created by Microsoft Word, and
were certainly created by a computer. The forger was so amateurish
that he didn't know how to turn off the auto-correct feature!

And, does anyone remember how you centered a heading with a
typewriter?

You counted the letters in the line to be typed, then centered the
roller and backspaced half the number of letters before starting to
type.

Can you imagine a commander typing himself an MFR going through that
sort of centered heading drill?

Well, Ed, the "memos" look like forgeries to me too but I've got to
wonder about that argument: were preprinted headers completely
unknown in the service back then?
