Rep. Troy Nehls Faces Backlash Over Rescinded Combat Infantryman Badge

The Texas congressman is accused of stolen valor after continuing to wear a military badge rescinded by the Army.

Nehls stopped wearing the badge amid widespread criticism from veterans and fellow Republicans.
The Combat Infantryman Badge is awarded only to infantrymen or Special Forces who engage in active combat.
Nehls claims the Army is targeting him due to his conservative views and support for Donald Trump.
Investigations revealed discrepancies in Nehls' military records, including the incorrect awarding of the badge.
Critics argue Nehls' actions disrespect those who earned the badge under legitimate circumstances.
