Even if we don’t address the whole “durrr, I didn’t know people could get HURT” tone to the ending, Steve is still shown as brutal, stupid, and completely unheroic.

In the first issue, he beats the hell out of a squad of SHIELD agents, not pulling any punches.  In issue two, he practically cripples The Vulture who, if you needed reminding, IS LITERALY JUST AN OLD MAN WITH WINGS!! Not cool, Steve! In issue three, he plays dirty by EMP-ing Iron Man during a cease-fire, which is a literal war crime!

Issue 5 sees him draft The Punisher and then assume he’s not gonna kill anybody in a REMARKABLE display of stupidity. Issue 6 sees him beat up the Punisher for doing the only thing the Punisher is known for doing. But in issue 7, things reach a new height. Not only does Steve command his troops like cannon fodder, but he also beats down Tony to the point where it looks like he’s going to kill him.
