Rep. Troy Nehls Faces GOP Criticism for Wearing Revoked Military Pin
House Republicans condemn Nehls for displaying a Combat Infantryman Badge despite it being rescinded due to ineligibility.
- Nehls continues to wear the badge awarded by mistake, which was revoked in 2023.
- The badge is reserved for infantrymen or Special Forces engaged in ground combat, which Nehls was not.
- Several GOP colleagues, including military veterans, have labeled Nehls' actions as 'stolen valor.'
- Nehls disputes claims about his military record, asserting he earned two Bronze Stars.
- The controversy has sparked internal GOP discussions and calls for Nehls to stop wearing the pin.
