'Somewhat' bit.

Gabriel stared at the sticker that had been slapped against his chest - it Featured a picture of a very sad black cartoon cat with 'I can’t believe you survived that… Shame.’ spelled underneath in a overtly curly font. He raised one questioning eyebrow at Jack.
"Since you were a dumb little bitch who run into the line of fire intentionally," Jack answered while rising from his chair, "you get one from 'I was a dumb little bitch' set."
Gabriel turned to Ana who took his chart as Jack passed it to her on his way out.
"Do you know what that was about?"
"Remember when I stopped bitching about how getting my agents to the medical was like herding yowling cats in heat?"
"He got Blackwatch attending the check-ups by handing them out funny stickers?"
"It's worse than you think..."
"I don't see a downside if..." Gabriel's train of thought was interrupted by one of Ana's agents barging in without a care in the world.
"Boss, we got them all rounded up, and down in the interrogation... Holy cow, what did you do to get that one!?"
Gabriel picked up the sticker and looked closer at it while Ana muttered an exhausted 'McCree' in the background.
"I might have survived an assassination attempt."
"Oh, so you're the imbecile Jack's been raging about for half a day! What!?"
McCree glared accusingly at Ana as she held the chart up ready to thwack him in the back of the head again if need arised. "Oh. Right. Strike-Commander, sir," he added sheepishly. "Is there, uh, a way I can get it off your hands? Sir?"
"Drive a hard bargain, McCree."
Ana smirked and evacuated the premises, blatantly ignoring Gabriel's non-verbal signs of distress and pleading for help.
"We've been trying to figure out what you have to do to get that one for months!" McCree somehow produced a stamp album from his non-regulation jacket.
And immediately started going through a quite impressive collection pointing to each one. "...and that one we got with Genji for skating down the stairs with buckets on our heads." The sticker in question was one of a tabby cat with 'all the pain I got was well-deserved'.
Gabriel duly noted each gross misconduct relayed to him but soon lost count. "Trade you the rest of the set for the black cat? Sir," McCree added as an afterthought. "I'll throw in some doubles I got, I got full flowers and girly shit set."
"No." Gabriel gripped harder the sticker McCree was eyeing greedily. "Wait. He called me an imbecile?"
"Sure. He was mighty ticked off so we figured we'd let him have a fist go at the guys in the brig."
Gabriel winced - recalling that one incident with alligator clips.
There was also that thing when Jack broke Liao's hand, just as he had promised earlier. Never piss off a medic, they know how to break you and then how to put you back together, more or less.
"McCree, do you realize you shouldn't be talking about all this to me?"
"And what are you going to do about that, fire me? Sir," McCree tacked on the 'sir' again at the end as something he didn't mean in its entirety. Jack was definitely rubbing off on Blackwatch.
"I'll have Commander Amari put you on disciplinary."
"Sure," McCree drawled. "About that trade..."
"No."
And that's how Gabriel found out Blackwatch evolved a sticker-based economy due to the fact Jack started to give out stickers for each warranted visit to the medical.
"Did you really call me an imbecile?" Gabriel asked later that night and Jack almost choked on his root beer.
"What? No. I called you a bottom-feeding moron with the IQ of pond scum and the self-preservation instinct of algae. Who fed you that one?"
"McCree."
"Nice save," Jack mused while getting more comfortable under his arm. "Commander Reyes, sir, if you're going to be a stupid punk-ass bitch, I'm going to call you out on it, especially if you're trying to get out of the movie night because that wasn't your turn to choose a movie."
"I'd never. Besides, Evil Dead 12?"
"It's got the classic quadruple chainsaw scene. I had to sit through the worst of Transformers, so you can stuff it, and bear it like a man."
And, of course, Jack fell asleep even before the halfway mark.
