Sam's thoughts on the VA
"What do you miss about it?"
Sam shakes his head. "I do miss the people. I don't miss the party line. No, we can't speed up your disability application. Yes, we know you've been waiting two years. Sure, we're doing everything we can. Have you thought of trying to open a small business? But was it cool, to talk someone through translating their service into resume points? Helping a mess hall administrator get a job running a boxing club? Yeah. That part was good, when it paid off. Little less of an adrenaline rush, though."
Steve pulls a face, a small one. "But no one's shooting at you."
"No one's shooting at me," Sam confirms. "Doesn't mean I never broke up fights, though."
"You ever think about getting back in?"
He snorts. "If we take down Hydra and SHIELD and build something better? Shoot, the VA could do worse than put me in charge. At least that's a job that's commensurate with my experience."
