Okay. This thing really looks like its unraveling. My understanding all along was the film would take place partly in the past, but also in modern day times. Now we're hearing something completely different. It's going to take place completely in the past , but will look very little like a war movie...REALLY? 
Here's what the director said:
“Scripts had been developed that took place half in World War Two, half in the modern day and none of those scripts were particularly successful because the costume ended up overshadowing the man,” says Marvel chief Kevin Feige. “So we finally said, ‘If we could make a Captain America movie any way we wanted to make it, how would we make it?’ Well, we’d set the entire movie in the past, in that period, with all of the Marvel trimmings. And so we made the fun, kick-*** Captain America movie we wanted to.”
“I’ve always loved Raiders and the tone that it had,” says director Joe Johnston. “It was period but didn’t feel like it was made in the period. It felt like a modern-day film about the period, which is what we’re doing on Captain America. It will not feel like a war movie. It’s funny where it needs to be and emotional where it needs to be and serious and full of action.”
And he's not just an American hero, argues Evans. “I think he’s the ideal human,” says Evans. “Not just American. It’s what being a good person is. Steve’s managed to overcome all the shortcomings he’s had in life and he does what’s good and what he believes is right.”
Now if that is true, then what you see for the costume is what your getting, period. With the exception of the first costume he wears as a entertainment gig for the military. Eh, this thing is sounding like a mess. Plus they have removed his patriotic origin. Lame... I knew they would choke on being honest with the character's origins. Waving the flag should be a metaphor for all countries. Here's some additional pics.
