Despite how weird real life has gotten, it's not comic books. There can be parallels and similarities and even metaphors or recreated historical events. Super soldiers willing to do what it takes to save and protect the world is different than regular, fallible people who (most of the time) seem to try to help but have a bad praxis leading to horrible PR in the mistaken belief that because they're more progressive, history is going to look at them kindly like how we look back on the allied forces.
History is repeating itself as a farce, just look at the jokers who are at the forefront of the neo-nazis and the alt-right. They've got people killed, but their incompetence is such (plus the modern mainstreams aversion to overt nazism) that these people will be relegated to a footnote and only be remembered as "try-hard wannabe successors" to the much more frightening German Nazi war machine (and even then, the historical nazis were eventually undone by their leaders incompetency, it just happened after far too much tragedy than it should have been ended with)
