Army Officially Confirms House Republican Can’t Wear Combat Badge That Led to Accusations of ‘Stolen Valor’
"The U.S. Army confirmed that Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) was indeed awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge by mistake, a pin Nehls has continued to wear despite it being revoked in 2023.
CBS News did a deep dive into Nehls’s military record back in May and found that “his Combat Infantryman Badge from Afghanistan was revoked from his service record in March 2023 because Nehls served as a civil affairs officer, not as an infantryman or Special Forces soldier. The congressman continues to wear the Combat Infantryman Badge lapel pin on his suit.” The CBS investigation led to other news outlets looking into the story and NOTUS spoke to several GOP House members, all veterans, who had tough words for Nehls.
“It matters. As a former commander, it matters what you wear on your uniform,” Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) told NOTUS."
