Does “liberate” actually imply theft in a way I’m missing? I assumed that meant he bought the chicken when I first read it, but nobody in these comments seems to think that.

Liberate is standard army slang for steal, yes.

If he’d bought it he would have just said so. I don’t “liberate” a double cheeseburger, I buy it. With money.
