Cap vs. 1970s morality
CAPTAIN AMERICA #183 took place while Steve Rogers was the Nomad. (He was depressed that Number One of the Secret Empire turned out to be Richard Nix -uh, I mean a high-ranking White House official.)
My WORD that is an unusual last panel on that page.
Nomad spends most of the issue going around Manhattan looking for the Falcon.
After stopping another "bank panic," Nomad finds out some people have their own theories about what happened to Captain America.
Committee To Regain America's Principles? Quite an acronym there. Their whole deal was to discredit Captain America.
Nomad was a little surprised that the post-Watergate era had turned into the "Rise of the Conspiracy Theorists."
Nomad follows Redwing to... a dead guy in a Captain America costume. Nomad freaks out, shouting it is Roscoe.

A beaten-up Falcon is also there, explaining the Red Skull showed up and was angry to find out Roscoe wasn't "the real" Captain America and killed Roscoe.
This is a little odd. Like Cap never fought Bunds or various American villains in World War II.
While it is very dramatic, I never quite "got" why Cap wanted to rename himself after the Secret Empire scandal. Of course, the Secret Empire "scandal" is based on Watergate, and I never quite "got" that either. Has it ever been established what those Watergate burglars were even looking for?
