Friends? Bucky's not sure he really remembers how to have those anymore. He even feels like he's letting Steve down in that regard, because he's not the guy he used to be. That guy made friends and had dates chasing after him he'd been warm and social. That guy died in the war. Bucky's not sure he'll ever be quite like that again, even if he tries.
He chuckles, though, because he doesn't really have a strong opinion on the other branches. It's not the kind of guy he is and he'd been too busy in the war to worry about much more than staying alive and taking down Nazis. It's not that the rivalries hadn't been there, but it hadn't been Bucky's thing. Serving had been about doing the right thing, not about an enjoyment of war.
"Army. I was a sergeant." It feels strange to say, like it was another life. Maybe it was. Seventy years is a long time. Some people don't even live that long. No one thought Bucky had. They all thought he was dead and he can't blame anyone for not thinking otherwise.
"What about you? Marines?" It's not a blind guess, either. The guy's got an air about him. Bucky figures he could be wrong, but he doesn't think he is.
