[Steve's expression flickers a little, at that - he never saw that happen, himself, and he never saw the camps. But he read about them. It makes him feel very lucky and very, very guilty all at once. But he can't deny a sense of satisfaction - on the part of America, all the boys that did what they did - for stopping that from going on. For liberating what people they could. But he doesn't feel that satisfaction on his own behalf, because he didn't have much part in it, even if he wouldn't change that. They didn't need Captain America to do that for them.] I hope they did. I hope it never happens again. And as long as I live... I'll do what I can to make sure it doesn't.
But I can understand how people can be blind to it. They are, every day - when they see something that's wrong, and they think it doesn't affect them. When they think someone else will take care of the problem.
[He's seen that his whole life - and been trying to stand up against it his whole life, too. Long before he stood over six feet tall.]
I do. I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
[He pauses.] I try to believe in the Admiral, too. In his choices, at least. In the people he puts here. But I don't believe he should do the work for us - wardens or inmates.
