        I would think that outfit would be very uncomfortable in a Vietnam Jungle. Might be useful keeping terrestrial leeches from biting.

        I don't want to spoil it here, but I recommend checking out the recent Spider-Man: Life Story by Zdarsky and Bagley for a Captain America in Vietnam twist.

        It would have been interesting to know what would have happened if the comic book expressed the same sentiments in, say, 1969.

        Harvey Kurtzman had a great anti-Korean-war comic *during* (i'm pretty sure) the actual Korean War.pic.twitter.com/DKqQXgLp6k

        I will never understand why some people love Jack Kirby's pencils. In fact, I don't understand how anybody likes them at all.

        Huh, I was under the impression that the whole Captain America as a critic of U.S. Gov't/Foreign Policy was a Steve Englehart thing and most of it was retconned by Kirby when he started writing Captain America again after returning to Marvel.
