All of Henry's internal struggles that he faces after fleeing after deserting his company all of those are watered down to just that scene with the squirrel which I think was really important to show I'm glad that was there at least but there's a lot more than that in the novel and then after that he goes on this kind of emotional roller coaster ride first convincing himself that the desertion never happened then getting overly confident going into his next battle there are really high highs really low lows and we don't get to experience any of those
