Even in companies where we cut costs on everything - especially capital equipment - in early 1980. Even then used typewriters had balls and proportional fonts (we almost never bought new office equipment). Xerox was giving away electronic typewriters with those abilities because - well Xerox MBAs created the Dallas operation and then had to dump product in early 1980s to maintain production. Bottom line is that typewriters with such abilities were quite common and often obtained for free.

Bottom line: CBS 60 Minutes essentially says that Bush has been lying about his military service - which is why the White House limited reporter access to his service records when the contraversy was first raised. If he was being honest, then why could reporters not study those papers?

Lets not forget why this is being raised again. They promoted lies about Kerry's military record. It is, at this point, quite obvious that questions about Kerry's service were based upon lies. However George Jr clearly had strings being pulled AND still no one can remember him doing his service in Alabama National Guard. For that matter, it is a public fact - not disputed - that George Jr failed to take his physical when ordered to do same. It is also a fact that he lost his flight priviledges directly due to his failure to take the physical. A physical he was required to take.

The only question remaining is why he chose to not follow orders; not take the physical. He's not talking. He hopes you will forget that his military service is tainted - as is most of his pre-40 history. This is an honest and moral man?
