Cap tearing a log in half in AoU is one of my favourite character moments for him and I think it's really overlooked

He does it right after Tony asks him about ending the fight "so we get to go home". Steve can't ever go home, that's what his vision was about. That question really pissed him off, even if he only let it show for a second.

His vision starts with him in a 40s dance hall full of guys in uniform dancing with their best gal, and Peggy Carter says to him "the war's over Steve, we can go home. Imagine it." Then he's suddenly in an empty hall. It was showing him the thing he wanted most but could never have. Tony reminded him of it, and it was a really deep cut. Him tearing that log in half was the closest we've seen to him really losing his temper (at least up to that point).

If ending the fight means going home and Steve can't go home then the fight is all he has. What else is he going to do? It's a really good piece of writing that I don't think gets enough attention.
