…g-class and rural kids to fight and die for nothing in the rice paddies of Vietnam. Today, obviously, our privileged young people do not have to worry about a military draft: there is absolutely no chance that they will be compelled to serve.

By Jason Bartashius

…leaner and (usually) sober. Spielberg, as noted, positioned Jones in a pre-Vietnam America. The Duffer Brothers, however, hint that Hop fought in the war (recall the box marked “Vietnam” under the police chief’s cabin as well as his familiarity with PTSD).
