Answer:
Sgt. Howell ridicules Doss and then respects him later
Explanation:
Sgt. Howell ridicules Doss for refusing to use a rifle, being as he is a Seventh Day Adventist and does not believe in killing. He doesn't understand why Doss would join the military and not want to fight. He was against Doss only being a medic.
After Doss saved Howell and several of his men, he is quoted as saying he was the bravest soldier.
