Henry/Forrest

            They both ran and they both fought for their country (or union). Although, their purpose of running was not quite the same. Henry was fleeing from his fear of death, from his fear of battle. Forrest was ordered to run to live and fight another day. Forrest ran for the good of his country. Henry fled with his tail between his legs, though in his mind, he was running out of self-preservation and was actually helping his cause. Henry was not the heroe in this case. Henry ran without regard for his fellow men, and watched as they tripped and fell right beside him. Forrest risked everything to save his friend and his comrades. Forrest was a heroe, Henry fell short of that title.
