It's true; Walker isn't entirely blameless in this situation; however, entitlement and pride, while generally being undesirable traits, aren't crimes. I think Walker's attitude resulted from him knowing that he would be working alongside with next-level operators who fought in an interstellar conflict. Walker is just a soldier who fought admirably (or maybe not so admirably) in a conventional war. His feelings of inadequacy were justified on some level. He tried to make up for that by wielding the only super-power he had at his disposal - the authority granted to him by the United States of America. And I fully endorse Walker taking the super-soldier serum. It should not have been a question. He is the successor to an instrument of the US government explicitly designed to help fight the wars of the future. He should be no less than Steve Rogers in strength, skill, and mental aptitude. He should be greater than, if anything. It's cold and but impersonal, but Rogers and Walker are blunt instruments. They are living weapons to be deployed in the interest of achieving national objectives. Steve Rogers had qualities that allowed him to transcend that role, but he was also willing and able to carry out his duty. Im not entirely sure I endorse it. Since he represents the US govt, perhaps he shouldve asked for authorization first? Also a risk taking it, which it might be. They couldve run tests to see if it was dangerous. Maybe replicate it or whatever Asking for permission was an option, but I think it would have slowed his progress down significantly. As for the risk, the Flag Smashers seem to be living proof of the formula's stability.
