If you haven’t yet seen the previews, or are
unfamiliar with the comic book, Steve Rogers
starts off a short, scrawny private, then becomes
a buff super-soldier through science, and is
promoted to captain. But even though he becomes
a legend, what is it about Cap that specifically
shows he’s still a regular Joe in the U.S. Army?
Captain America Is Still in the Army
9> Wears headgear that affords zero eye protection from the sun.
8> You can’t ask where he got the colorful outfit, because he
won’t tell.
7> He was drafted. Duh.
6> The flashy uniform is nice, but it still doesn’t command
respect like the four gold stripes of a Navy captain.
5> Unlike bell-bottom-wearing sailors, has absolutely no fashion
sense.
4> The shield is obviously Army — Salvation, that is.
3> He’s a less-than 90-day OCS wonder who thinks he can do the
mission alone.
2> Wears ostentatiously tacky clothes when off duty.
