Are you calling Steve Rogers a fool?  Or clueless?  Because he thought very highly of his friendship with Bucky; it was–without doubt–important to him.  And I think it’s a safe assumption to make, given what we know about the fortitude of Steve Roger’s conviction, that he wouldn’t have put up with Bucky as a bully. They wouldn’t have been friends, if that were true.

This. Right here. Remember, if you trash Bucky’s character, you’re trashing Steve’s judgement as a person.

Couldn’t have said it any better. Clearly Steve has an understanding and respect for his friendship with Bucky that few if any will ever understand.
