[MCU] Would War Machine be subject to the Sokovia Accords?

I know he threw in on that side, anyway, but would he HAVE to? He's a member of the US military, and the War Machine armor is property of the military (as seen in the two Iron Man sequels). So I'd imagine THEY would have a problem with Rhodey taking the armor and flying around punching whoever he wants with it, but would the Sokovia Accords necessarily apply to him?

Yes. It's the fact that the Avengers aren't subject to any oversight that's causing friction, and Rhodey is part of the Avengers. Technically speaking, when he is assigned to his post on the Avengers, he is to follow their lead - if they go into battle without US military approval, he is to follow them (until and unless he gets orders specifically requesting that he stand down).
