I'm an Army veteran and when I got out, it seemed like we were everywhere, this diaspora of ex-military members that are essentially invisible, like a society within society. What if it really was a cabal, different in some fundamental way we haven't seen before? And then, what if those same people were considered not worthy and kind of discarded? The historical parallel would be the ronin, masterless samurai during the Japanese feudal period, who lost their honor when they lost their lord but retained the bushido code. The Tom Cruise movie, "The Last Samurai." had already done the heavy lifting of explaining the idea for me. Reading Tim Powers' dynamic novel, "Three Days to Never" highlighted the possibility of creating an American secret history, based on this new information.
