It's the go-to method for getting rid of a soldier who [[DrunkDriver drove under the influence]] or failed a drug screening, revoking most (but not all) veteran benefits for the offender.[[/note]]

Either he is in uniform or he is out of uniform; there is no halfway mark. As it's a signal of his instability and they're giving him an other than honorable discharge, the committee was probably happy he looked so disheveled, as it lent more justification to their decision.

** The power of community is more important than super strength or fighting skills. Sam as the Falcon can't get help from the bank, but he can call in favors from everyone his parents helped out over the years and a whole crowd shows up with the replacement parts necessary to fix the family trawler. Buck sticks around to help Sam patch it up.

* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Sam explains that Bucky's attempts at making amends are "avenging" rather than "amending", which is why things aren't getting any better for him. Bucky has been trying to feel better by taking away the ill-gotten gains of people he enabled as the Winter Soldier. It's going nowhere because what he's actually haunted by is the pain of his victims, and this crusade of his, as well-meaning as it might be, doesn't do anything about that suffering. Only in helping them with their sorrow will Bucky be able to make a difference.

* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Sam explains Bucky tries to appeal to John this way, stating he's "gone down the same road" and it won't end well. He's talking about how he's helped in dispatching HYDRA, technically a form of vengeance after all they did to him, but it definitely didn't make him feel any better with all that he had to do as the Winter Soldier, so despite John's condescending beliefs, he ''had'' the right to appeal to him in that way. This actually also applies at Bucky's attempts at making amends are amends: As Sam states it, Bucky is ultimately "avenging" rather than "amending", which is why things aren't getting any better for him.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Bucky has spent most of the series acting cold, dismissively rude, and antagonistic towards Walker because he believes that Walker is unworthy of being the next Captain America and is all for forcibly stripping Walker of the shield and mantle. The fact that he is acting nice towards Walker for the one and only time here shows how much Lemar's tragic death and it's effect on Walker affected him, as he knew fully well Walker was starting to fall into the same dark path as he did when he was the Winter Soldier and also after he had just been saved by Steve with no memories and sought revenge only to find it hollow.
