Troy Nehls Attacks US Capitol Police Officers
The Two Faces of Troy Nehls
Deception Regarding Military Awards – Stolen Valor
The Army confirmed that U.S. Representative Troy Nehls is ineligible for the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) he wore, as his service as a civil affairs officer during his 2008 deployment to Afghanistan did not meet the direct infantry combat requirement, leading to the badge’s 2023 revocation, although Nehls maintained it was a politically motivated action against him and had previously worn it despite the Army’s determination.
The Army revoked the CIB in 2023 after reviewing his record, determining he didn’t meet the criteria.
