NOTUS reports:
When House Republicans called Rep. Troy Nehls out for continuing to wear a revoked Combat Infantryman Badge, he challenged critics to “go ask the Army.” So NOTUS did.
For the first time since this controversy started in May, the Army commented on Nehls’ service record on Friday. And it wasn’t great news for the Texas congressman. Nehls served as an officer in the civil affairs branch, an Army spokesperson confirmed to NOTUS. That role does not qualify for the Combat Infantryman Badge.
Nehls, who frequently wears his Infantryman badge on his suit jacket lapel, has argued that the 101st Airborne has “been in combat now for the past 20-plus years” and that they rightly gave him a Combat Infantryman Badge.

PREVIOUSLY: Nehls, a Freedom Caucus member who wore a t-shirt bearing Trump’s mugshot to Biden’s state of the union address, is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly using campaign funds to rent an office for his private business. Nehls recently appeared here when he said he hopes gas goes to $8 a gallon so Americans “feel pain about asshat Biden.”
Troy Nehls told @JohnSewardDC to ask the Army about his Combat Infantry Badge… So John did:
