Tiny,

When you are repeatedly shown to be wrong, you can't continue to demand credibility.

If Pete's CIB was individual, it would include a narrative. 

A guy who wears his dog tags to a rape is not going to exclude such from his bio.

Pete was in Baghdad and Samarra....he was a community organizer..

Did Pete Hegseth See Combat

Yes—Pete Hegseth did see combat during his time in the U.S. Army National Guard, particularly during his deployment to Iraq from 2005 to 2006. Serving as an infantry officer with the 101st Airborne Division, he operated in active combat zones where U.S. forces were engaged in counterinsurgency operations against militant groups. His responsibilities included leading soldiers on patrols, coordinating security operations, and participating in missions that involved direct exposure to hostile threats such as ambushes and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

His combat service is formally recognized by the award of the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB), which is only given to infantry soldiers who have personally engaged in active ground combat. In addition, he received the Bronze Star Medal, further indicating meritorious service in a combat environment. While not every detail of his engagements is publicly documented, these military honors and his assigned role strongly confirm that he experienced real combat conditions during his Iraq deployment.

From yesterday:

I'll let the Army tell you:

2)  Be assigned to an infantry unit during such time as the unit is engaged in active ground combat.
(a)  A recipient must be personally present and under hostile fire while serving in an assigned infantry or SF primary duty in a unit actively engaged in ground combat with the enemy. The unit in question must be a brigade, regiment, or smaller size. For example, personnel possessing an infantry MOS in a rifle squad of a cavalry platoon in a cavalry troop would be eligible for award of the CIB. Battle or CPC alone is not sufficient. The unit must have been in active ground combat with the enemy during the period.

@Blackvegetable  

Validity: While sometimes perceived as improper, they are not inherently illegal if everyone listed is, in fact, entitled to the award. However, regulations require that a soldier must be personally present and under hostile fire while serving in an infantry role.

STFU

Yup, they certainly are my words.  That pesky army reg again:

(a)  A recipient must be personally present and under hostile fire while serving in an assigned infantry or SF primary duty in a unit actively engaged in ground combat with the enemy. The unit in question must be a brigade, regiment, or smaller size. For example, personnel possessing an infantry MOS in a rifle squad of a cavalry platoon in a cavalry troop would be eligible for award of the CIB. Battle or CPC alone is not sufficient. The unit must have been in active ground combat with the enemy during the period.

https://www.hrc.army.mil/content/Combat ... adge%20CIB

Simply being assigned to a unit that has engaged in combat does not qualify one to have it.  A recipient must be personally present and under hostile fire while serving in an assigned infantry or SF primary duty in a unit actively engaged in ground combat with the enemy.

The one having difficulty with words, is you.  

And there is this:

AI OverviewYes, the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB) is a prestigious individual award of the U.S. Army, not a unit award. It is earned by individual infantrymen or Special Forces soldiers who personally fought in active ground combat while assigned to an infantry unit of brigade size or smaller after December 6, 1941.
