'There are no lengths to which the establishment won’t go to discredit me, including my CIB, which I was awarded over 14 years ago,' Nehls said in a statement.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Troy Nehls spoke out for the first time since a watchdog groupThe watchdog group said it was inappropriate for Nehls to wear because he was ineligible to receive it.
He was awarded the badge in 2008 following tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, but in 2023, the Army revoked it following a review of his record. The Army says the CIBs are awarded to soldiers who come under fire while engaged in active ground combat. According to the U.S.
Nehls pointed to the rarity in which CIBs are revoked and again labeled the action as politically motivated."This will be my final written comment on my CIB, awarded by the 101st Airborne Division in 2008 and listed on my official military record . In 2023, 14 years after my retirement, suddenly, the Department of the Army rescinded my CIB. According to correspondence I received from the Department of the Army, 142,596 CIBs have been awarded over the past 20 years.
