A young soldier or cadet has a massive piece of masonry land on his head. He dies, and has a visible but non graphic head wound: there’s no cartoonish actual flattening or anything.

I’m not sure why people have said no, Steve sacrifices himself at the end of the film to put the Valkyrie down in the ocean so that the bombs wouldn’t reach the major cities. He obviously survives this but he intends it to be a sacrifice.

There are many bright explosions and bright gunfire effects throughout the movie that may be triggering to photosensitive people. During the last end credit scene at the very end of the credits there is a teaser trailer for the first Avengers film and it rapidly flashes scenes in a way that could be triggering

"Dum Dum" Dugan agressively states that the army is accepting anybody when he sees a man of Asian descent. The man, Jim Morita, replies "I'm from Fresno, Ace." The implication here being that Dum Dum was feeling very against Japanese people, which was a big thing during WWII, as they were rounded up during this time by the U.S. Government and put into internment camps.

The ending is bittersweet. SPOILERS: Steve sacrifices himself in the 40's and is later found in the 2000's. This means he missed his date with Peggy, and the people in the 40s mourn his loss.

Standard amount of blood for a PG-13 action movie. The most graphic it gets is when someone is shredded by a propeller at one point, but even that's limited to a red mist.
