You'd think Uncle Sam could give you an extra pair of dry socks as a thank you.
[ It amazes Bucky the shit people still go through. Back in the 40s, good warm socks had been a luxury for him even at home. Now, anyone can get a pack of them for a few dollars and soldiers are still freezing their toes off like they're in last century.
From what Bucky can tell, even when they come back missing toes or worse, they're barely cared for, too. He's not bitter, though. He can't be, because he never came home and he wouldn't be welcome there now. ]
You ever think about joining some kinda army again here?
[ Bucky wouldn't. Not unless it seemed absolutely necessary. That he's even considering the guard has an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach. He doesn't want to be anyone else's tool ever again. ]
