## Texas Congressman Won't Stop Wearing Combat Infantryman Badge that Was Revoked

Authored by military.com

More than a month after a news report revealed that the Combat Infantryman Badge Rep.

Troy Nehls, R-Texas, wears on his lapel was revoked since he was never eligible for the award to begin with, the congressman refuses to take the pin off.

He's doubling down now,’" said Anthony Anderson, an Army veteran who runs Guardian of Valor and was instrumental in uncovering Nehls' revoked award.

The Combat Infantryman Badge originated during World War II, both as a means of establishing the infantry as a prestigious role in the Army to help with recruitment and to reward soldiers who saw combat.

The establishment of the badge also came with the Expert Infantryman Badge, an accolade for showing a high level of proficiency in combat tests such as marksmanship, grenade handling and physical fitness.

In 2005, the Army established the Combat Action Badge, or CAB -- effectively the same award but for soldiers in all other roles.

His refusal to stop wearing the CIB is what has attracted the most criticism a month later. »

"No decision is based on any assumption that, hey, we did it once, it’s going to happen again.

Allowing for this rather conservative forecast gives us room to fail – and that in turn results in better games and better decisions," he continues.
