RBC: Chapter Six.
The soldiers are all coming down from such a high adrenaline rush full of joy and great victory. They had pushed the enemy back, but it was not for long. In the midst of coming down from that another set of the enemies men were coming back. They did not know how to react. Henry had a million thoughts going through his head. He thought it must be a mistake and that there was no way they could beat them again. With all the fear rushing through his head along with thinking they would all die he saw two men run. He could hold up no longer he too turned and ran. He had convinced himself that the men were all going to run with him. Only the foolish would stay behind there was no way they could win, right? As he was running he came across other regiments and he said it seemed like they had no idea about the battle that was going on. They just kept shooting off in their own business. He came across one general and he was sending his men off. Henry desired to tell him that he was sending them to their death, but then found he was wrong. His fellow men that had stayed to fight had held them off. They had won and he ran. Guilt spread through him and his decisions were now the decisions of a coward.
