Maybe sending a dozen hyper-armed helicarriers into the sky to [[spoiler:murder anyone who might could maybe be a threat possibly someday was kind of a red flag]].

TheReveal that [[spoiler: S.H.I.E.L.D., created by his best surviving friend and his best girl, has been infiltrated by HYDRA since day one?]] Just confirms that Steve can't be a company man any more, and the company has to come down.
