“[The Winter Soldier] is a wonderfully, beautifully tragic figure in the sense of is he the world’s most feared assassin or is he the world’s longest serving POW. Is he innocent by reason of insanity or the equivalent of it because he’s been mind controlled or is he irredeemable?”

How much to make Steve Rogers cry?
One buck
From the archives: a list of the awards Steve wears on his uniform. Also, there’s a bit of controversy about why he’s wearing the American Defense Service Medal.
Sometimes you also wear medals or honors that belong to your unit. If he’s in the modern era wearing his uniform one of two things is happening – he’s on detached duty from his unit and still considered on active duty and part of that unit and would wear unit patches and awards that he’s required to wear as part of the unit. [See special forces folks in particular for this.] The other option is that he was retired out after his MIA status was resolved. In that case it’s not uncommon for vets to keep wearing the insignia and awards from the unit they were with during combat/felt most attached to. In the latter case it would be uncommon for him to wear an award he hadn’t earned. He might be asked to tho.
If you are talking about in WWII if it was a unit citation he would be expected to wear it when he’s in his dress uniform.
Battle-tested, Captain America and his Howling Commandos quickly earned their stripes. Their mission: taking down HYDRA, a Nazi rogue deep science division. Barnes is the only Howling Commando to give his life in service of his country.
