Sorry to ask, but can I have some more context on how the third amendment (roughly: citizens can't be forced to provide quarter to soldiers) relates to American bloated military and disproportionate influence on international wars? (as mentioned in the tags on the 'yeerks lose earth and lose the war' post)

Oh yeah, so! The 3rd Amendment, also called the Quartering Act, says the U.S. government can't quarter (house) military members in private homes. That's the literal text of the Constitution, and (unlike the 1st) it's rarely broken or disputed.

HOWEVER. There's a legal argument that the amendment means the U.S. shouldn't keep an active military in peacetime, and/or that it shouldn't force civilians to devote civilian resources to maintaining the military. Since we're in a country that thinks it's okay to have children go hungry and schools beg for money from cereal companies, while also spending billions of USD to build mostly- or completely-obsolete tanks and grenades, there's an argument that we're in violation of the spirit of the 3rd Amendment. Not a legal scholar, but that's my best understanding of the issue.

Maybe in the last episode of TFATWS, Bucky was being so awkward about not asking Sam to stay in his house because he was trying to respect his third amendment rights. He was just thinking “No Winter Soldier shall be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner”.
