Rep. Troy Nehls told his critics to “go ask the Army” about his Combat Infantryman Badge. So we did — and it wasn’t good news for Nehls.

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.”

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.
