I see you’re from that area. The sheriff was born in 1936 yet I cannot find any reference to military service, despite his turning of age during the Korean era. Is the Sheriff a draft dodger?

Not for nuthin, but someone born in late 1936 would have been 14 at the outbreak of the war. He would have been 17 at the time of the cease fire.

Not quite draft age.

I doubt it. He would have been 17 when the Korea War ended, and he might not have been drafted during peacetime. He joined the police in 1958, so he would have been 22 at the time.

Dupnik has been sheriff forever. I respect him for his service,while disagreeing completely with his views. As a local bigwig, Dupnik knows all the local Political types so this was personal to him. This has been very emotional for all of Tucson and while his comments since the first press conference have been more extreme, Saturday’s comments came close to my own views. I heard him talk about not just the news media, but all media and cultural discourse we expose to our children and the mentally vulnerable.
