Chapter 21 (RBoC)

Chapter 21 opens with the regiment almost thinking that it's too good to be true, having a pause in the fight, and actually having an advantage? Hasn't happened for them in a while. Some random soldier wanted to fist-fight, and it brought Henry's attention to the mockers. He turns around and sees that the distance that looked so huge to him earlier, was hardly anything. Henry almost looks at the dead soldiers with contempt for dying in that short distance. The young soldier then starts to reflect upon his actions and give himself praise. Then the officer who called them mule-drivers rides up to Henry's regiment. The general is yelling at the commander, telling him that they basically failed. The lieutenant of course was enraged when hearing this, but the colonel who was yelled at told him not to worry about it.
Wilson walks over to Henry and they both tell each other that they don't like the commanding officers and that they want to tell them that they can fight for themselves. While having this discussion, some random soldier runs over to them and tells them that the colonel asked about Henry and the lieutenant told him about Wilson and Henry, and that they should be major-generals! No matter what that general said, it was forgotten by Henry and Wilson.

Response- I'm liking that colonel more and more already. And that one general is just an arrogant prick to be honest. This chapter was interesting, since Henry and Wilson were fluffing each other's egos... a lot.

Question- Will that general get what he deserves?
