I'm not sure if he even has a clear idea himself of whom he's working for But he's not working for whom he thinks he's working for (We've all seen Alias right)

It's the same joke as Peacemaker in Suicide Squad or the Soldier in TF2 Riffing on the wackjob who seriously thinks he's such a valuable US government operative most of the US government "disavows any knowledge of his actions"

Manipulating him into like blowing open a bank vault and taking out all the cash as a "top secret mission for national security" "You've served your country well today, soldier!" *grabs two bundles of cash off the top and throws them to him* "Here, have a bonus"

His "paycheck" comes from visiting various dead drops around his neighborhood to pick up sketchy envelopes filled with unmarked bills "Yeah, honey, my new government job is so classified they can't even let the IRS know about it"

Like seriously I'm pretty sure people have talked about washing out of the military for being unstable and violent and then getting a job as a cop immediately afterwards The dude who shot Tamir Rice had been fired from another police department for that reason

The performance of Val is so good. I mean I could envision Walker getting a mild pardon for his efforts in having saved members of the GRC, but they never out and say it one way or the other!

Didn't the original comics Walker end up a guy who generally meant well (and even would do well when the chips are down) but was super easily manipulated? I'm not familiar.

He was a foil to Steve Rogers' whole principled idealism thing To the extent he was sympathetic it was meant to be like "Patriotic conservatives aren't evil they're just stupid, they don't like thinking about shit"

Huh. Didn't he actually break a bit because his family got killed (ironically by right wing militia types?)
