I do find it amusing that he thinks (because Ennis is enough of a student of history to know better) that Cap has never seen a dirty war because he didn't experience Vietnam.

Ennis probably threw that bit in there because of his distate for Cap, on the basis that he finds Cap's status as a WWII veteran to be offensive to real-life WWII veterans (this is why in THE BOYS, his Cap stand-in got singled out for particular humiliation). He seems to be ignorant of the fact Cap's creators, Joe Simon and JACK FUCKIN' KIRBY! actually were real-life WWII veterans. Kirby in particular had an extremely dangerous job as a scout, sneaking into enemy territory and drawing reconnaissance maps and pictures, and nearly lost both legs to frostbite. So ironically, by disrespecting Cap, Ennis is unknowingly disrespecting the very same people he holds in such high esteem, which he could have avoided if he'd cared enough to do his research. And baby, NOBODY disses THE KING! :P
