Combat Infantryman’s Badge, given after at least 30 days in a combat zone, given after at least 30 days in a combat zone

I think that is bunk as well.

From Army.mil: The CIB is Awarded to personnel in the grade of Colonel or below with an infantry or special forces military occupational specialty who have satisfactorily performed duty while assigned as a member of an infantry/special forces unit, brigade or smaller size, during any period subsequent to 6 December 1941 when the unit was engaged in active ground combat.

The article says he was Signal, not an 11B (Infantry) or 18 series (SF)

This guy's story stinks to high heaven.

You guys are going to have to sort this one out. I don't have enough knowledge of the military to sort it all out.
