Does the colonel and the lieunuants praise toward Henry and Wilson signify anything about their relationship with their superiors?

+ how do they regard this praise?

The superiors are finally acknowledging Henry and Wilson as superior fighters at the moment they are not worried about winning anyone's approval. They have finally gotten what they wanted from their superiors; yet they no longer need such praise. They have finally been noticed.
