(16) S1E16 Rebuttal: The Nonviolent Position Devalues the Sacrifice of Soldiers

America prides itself on being built on the sacrifice of the American soldier.

If one adheres to a position of nonviolence, doesn't that devalue the sacrifice of those who put their lives on the line for our freedom and security?
