At least he served, which is more than can be said for Forbes and that draft dodging POS Clinton. I personally doubt that his father intervened, though I am sure that the story will come out if that occurred. As for jumping ahead of 100,000 other people, the article makes the point that he jumped ahead of only 150: "The Texas Air Guard had about 900 slots for pilots, air and ground crew members, supervisors, technicians and support staff. Sgt. Donald Dean Barnhart, who still serves in the Guard, said that he kept a waiting list of about 150 applicants' names. He said it took up to a year and a half for one name to move to the top of the list."
