He was raised by loving and supportive parents but was dehumanized by war. He was outraged that after what he had sacrificed in the war, the country had nothing to give (that he was willing to accept). He refused to file for unemployment because he considered that welfare. You're right. He didn't want help, he wanted to be doing it on his own.
