But some of the students in the Student Veterans of Louisiana State University organization, which Bryson founded, doubted the tale and eventually booted Bryson.<\/p>\n<p>Friday, Bryson wrote to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/2011\/02\/navy-seal-faker-says-he-was-trying-to-helping-veterans-021311w\/\">Navy Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t a Navy SEAL,\u201d he said, explaining how the governor\u2019s office had sought veterans\u2019 stories to recognize publicly with the state\u2019s medal. \u201cSo I kind of just gave them a story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI falsified a story to try to help out vets. It\u2019s just grown into a massive [nightmare],\u201d he said. \u201cAlmost every single month since this has happened, I\u2019m not able to sleep a lot because of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bryson said he created himself into a Hollywood-like character to draw more attention to the experiences of combat veterans attending college after their military service. It\u2019s why he first organized LSU\u2019s student vet group, he said. \u201cI was really trying to help out vets at LSU,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, ya see, he did it for us to bring our phony stories to the fore. We needed an aircraft mechanic to get medals and accolades for his phony stories so people would recognize what real SEALs do. <\/p>\n<p>No, it doesn&#8217;t make any f&#8217;n sense to me either.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to 1stCavRVN11B for the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Bobby Jindal awarded Andrew Irvin Bryson the Louisiana Medal of Honor last year in a &hellip; <a title=\"Hey!
