Texas Republican Representative Troy Nehls faces criticism for wearing a revoked Combat Infantryman Badge lapel pin, awarded in error for non-combat service.
Texas Republican Representative Troy Nehls faces criticism from GOP colleagues for wearing a revoked Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) lapel pin. The CIB was awarded to Nehls in error as he served as a civil affairs officer in Afghanistan and did not engage in combat. Fellow Republicans, including former Navy SEAL Rep. Ryan Zinke, argue that wearing unearned military honors is "stolen valor" and should not be tolerated.
