They slumber below the earth in ancient bunkers, vaults, and caches. Remnants of the total war that ended a past age. Indoctrinated, altered by surgeries and strange drug concoctions, the trauma of battle warping them still further; extreme xenophobia.
No one remembers the ideologies and nationalities for which they once fought, to the new people of the world they seem locked in incoherent blood feuds with one another. They cling to their regimental structures, "clans," as it were, the only source of cohesion left to them with demise of all they once knew.
They are stranded in an alien world. The new people are repulsive, mutated, and contaminated in their eyes. The very sun burns their pallid flesh during the day. They hide behind gas masks, armour, and clattering equipment.
They become marauding hordes, linking up with other remnants, carving out kingdoms for themselves. They take slaves, tribute, food. Some become mercenaries for the powers that be of the new world.
