They don't reject society: they reject the *duties and constraints* of living in a society, while expecting to enjoy all the benefits of living in a society.
Their role model isn't the hermit; it's the depraved aristocrat.

Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, honoring the end of World War I—then it was changed to honor ALL who served.
Now Trump wants to rename it. Reframe it. Twist it into a tribute to conquest.
Veterans don’t need rewritten history. They need respect—and the benefits they earned.
