Why do we know this is fake?

OK, we know this doc is fake anyway.... but assuming this was not the fake print.... why would we recognise it as fake?

Hi,

 

the first glance gives it away as the current fake sold as blank copies on ebay... but if it were not for that... the typing and condition just dont "look" right.... but the printed general and Divisions commander in no way fits with the guys supposed unit and the stamp.

Two thumbs down! :-)

Seems to me like I saw 100's of these one evening followed by some Turkish food. Jet lag hit me hard so it may have been a dream but one of my best dreams without the "ladies"!
