Summary
It was never a good plan. The most that could’ve been said for it was that after many days of adjusting and analyzing and adjusting again, as good as it would get. Hardly by the book, but tactically sound. Even Bucky had grudgingly admitted as much, although it was really due to him that Rogers’ batshit idea came close to resembling something of an actual plan in the first place. He never met a strategy he didn’t shred to pieces trying to perfect, James Barnes. Morita always joked it was because he couldn’t help being difficult, being a Brooklyn boy; Dugan knew it was because Barnes hated to see careless oversights cost lives. We can do better, he would say.
Doctor Arnim Zola has been captured by Allied forces. It is, strictly speaking, a victory - but Dugan can't help feeling that the price was too high.
