Rogers extended a hand to Grant in greeting. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I didn't think you would either."
While Steve was certainly motivated by his desire to uphold and promote freedom in any way that was possible for him to, he was hardly just a mouth piece and a uniform. As far as he was concerned, Captain America stopped with the posters, and while he appreciated what his image and what the Star Spangled Man had come to symbolize, that wasn't who he was. If Captain America gave people hope, if it earned there respect, that was good -- but if Steve couldn't communicate and connect with the people who needed that hope, needed help the most than he wasn't worth the the stitches in the uniform he wore. A uniform he wasn't wearing right now. It had seemed a bit much after all, and he felt a lot better about opting for a leather jacket and a cotton T-shirt.
