So if everybody fucks up and gets in bed with Nazis, it's all right? Even when it results in the re-formation of HYDRA? Doesn't make a goddamn bit of difference if everyone does something wrong. It's wrong every time.
Somebody else sure did.
But whether or not they knew I lived, whether or not they should have suspected, whether or not they had reason over the years to believe the rumors were true -- none of that's the fucking point. The point is that your life doesn't matter to these people unless you're special. The military left us for dead in a HYDRA POW camp until Steve came after me. They left me for dead on that mountain. They never even looked for something to bury. They'll spend billions looking for a man who has something valuable coursing through his veins, but a soldier? We're all expendable to them. Every one of us. We're assets or we're liabilities. And we're dealt with accordingly.
