I would not call your article printed last night concerning Mike Mannino accurate. You failed to check your facts or sources and have discredited yourself in my eyes. Did you take separate incidents which involved multiple people and make it look like they all involved the one political candidate. Also Mike was registered as an Independent not a democrat. I don't know where you are getting this bogus information for your rag.

Your right, Andy is not mentally ill, but; I believe he does have a self esteem problem stemming from his childhood, and the Mother who allegedly raised him. His heart may of been in the right place when making up these stories, but his mind was a part of one of those "War Games" you can play on the TV. My biggest worry is that, if Andy was injured, was he injured being somewhere he was not supposed to be, and being there brought the attack that may have killed good men? And, of course, is this all a story made up by Andy, yet; how could such a lie be believed by the Governor and then reported to the news without someone checking the facts. I guess we will never really know the true facts since 90% of what the Military does is secret, especially when someone screws up. All of you need to remember that Andy has a family that are shocked and upset that he would do such a thing, and me especially since my Military career was mainly the Army National Guard. As a father, I have to weigh all the facts and try to forgive him, but; it's hard, especially when others were killed while he was playing Navy Seal.Sun, 22 May 2011 01:59:55 +0000http://insidelouisiananews.com/archives/2362#IDComment154790570 Anthony Brysonhttp://insidelouisiananews.com/archives/2362#IDComment154700635Andrew is my son, and I can't even believe his story. It seems strange that an Aircraft Electronics Tech would have been assigned to a SEAL Team. But now, he goes on speaking engagements and shows of his medals like he's a Hero. In this Country, there is a law which provides punishment for something called "Stolen Honor", and I believe he is doing so. He has a Purple Heart License Plate from Louisiana, and a Purple Heart ID from the VA. He may have gotten the Purple Heart in some kind of action, but; I can't believe he was a SEAL Team Member, or Member of any Special Forces. I have tried filing for his records from the "Freedom of Information Act" but; the Navy will not budge. What kind of mistake did they make, and for that matter, what kind of mistake did the Govenor make by giving Andrew the States highest honor. This has to be stopped, and even though he is my son, I need your help to stop this injustice to those who bravely put their lives on the line everyday for our freedom. Andrews Awards are a slap in the face to the truly honorable service our young men and women face every day, and this has to stop. Anyone interested in stopping this injustice, my email address is anthonybryson@hotmail.com, and I would be interested in any and all information you have collected to "debunk" this lie.

What a day this has been. Congratulations to Jonathan Perry and to all the patriots who worked so hard to make this day in history a reality!

The only one he betrayed was himself. Still, Andy is neither mentally ill nor is he a pathological liar. He’s made a mistake and regrets it fully -just dug himself a hole that can be filled in time. I know there will be some who choose to ignore what I say, it is to be expected. …Andy has served in the Navy for eight years and unfortunately did not think highly enough about himself -as if Navy boys are not good enough for the esteem of other service men with or without a trident. As I have said, he is paying his dues now. Shame is upon him and there are plenty of people with enough hatred to hold onto this for a little while. But, Andy will be just fine. I promise you that friend. I hope there are no hard feelings as we share our thoughts here. “This too shall pass,” am I right?

I'm not saying that I regret serving my country, no, never. I am saying that in the grand scheme of things, we should just let it go. I know Andy on a personal level. He's helped me out immensely in the last seven months since I've known him. I've learned only recently that Andy is not a SEAL. It was some tough news to take for sure. I was disappointed, but not deterred, not angered at all. I've served my country, that is all. I take with me from my time there only the essentials. I am glad to be alive. I accept people and their flaws.Sat, 12 Feb 2011 04:50:36 +0000http://insidelouisiananews.com/archives/2362#IDComment127475776 NVH0311http://insidelouisiananews.com/archives/2362#IDComment127475684We love to cast stones, we do. But the thing for me is this; I see myself as a man locked out of society, not necessarily by choice -unless I am about to waste my time worrying about some other fools choice of words. I choose not to worry about it. I'm done with the military, done with all the pointing fingers and glum faces and sorrow and misery and orders and general issued bs that every service man encounters. The difference between me and the ones who exposed Andy's lie is that I no longer have that mind-set to go out and wreck someone’s life. They are stuck in the military, I am not. I am free now.

I've questioned the meaning and purpose in my life, I've said goodbye to people who I thought were friends and hello to places I thought would open new doors. It has been a very lonely/angry life, even before the Corps. Out of this strange journey I've realized that things such as these (such as Andy's situation) anger us for only a short while. And during that short while we reflect on our own souls. We compare other men to ourselves and are united in anger towards the one person who we know has done something morally wrong.

Now let me write this with more of a personal flair. ...I have served in the Marine Corps in the 03 field, humped out to Iraq and Afghanistan twice each, lost two good friends out there to anti-personnel and vehicle-borne IEDs. I received my honorable discharge in 2006 and have been travelling through the years ever since. In all my time spent alone, in all those cities and countryside’s I've studied people, read the papers with their acidic politics covering the pages, and listened to youngsters slandering this great country which has given them so much.Sat, 12 Feb 2011 04:48:14 +0000http://insidelouisiananews.com/archives/2362#IDComment127475292 Citizen Khttp://insidelouisiananews.com/archives/5534#IDComment127463534I want to know who these chamber of commerce types are.

He made the concious decision to lie. Not just lie about stealing ten dollars from Mommy's purse. This guy lied and accepted an award. He's either mentally unstable and really thinks he's a SEAL (which would be a different story) or he is a pathological liar feeding off the success of others for his own personal benefit. NVH, how can you possibly stick up for this guy, I mean it says USMC at the bottom of your comment. All the sweat and years of training you had to go through was earned. Now imagine this guy claiming he's a Marine, yet he never payed his dues like you did.

This was a lie, sure. But I have never met a person who hasn't lied or made a major mistake once in their lives. I guess when we think "perfect" we should think of each one of you. Navy Seals are a fine fighting force, no doubt, though Navy Seal or not, ya'll need to leave this fellow the hell alone. He is paying his dues NOW, believe me! So lets cut the threats of "hes going to meet a real Navy Seal" and back off. If they show more character than Mr. Bryson over the last year they will let it go and carry on with the much bigger issues they face day in and day out the world over. Mr. Bryson has served in the Navy for eight years. It is a shame he felt the need to fabricate this story in order to gain respect as anyopne who knows him on a personal level knows he is already a great guy. No one here knows him, knows what hes going through right now. I'm sure no ones feelings have been hurt by this, its just another thing for people to sneer at for the moment. OOrah!

Jindal related this story about the phoney? Shame on him and his administration for not checking out the story. Shame on the press, but if they were just reporting on what the Gov. said, then they should have had some confidence that the story was checked out. In this case I would fault the Governor for telling a BS story he knew the press would report.

If you are going to censor each post you need to know that the Naval Special Warfare chain of command has been notified of this article and what's happened. You need to get in front of this now because it is a federal crime to impersonate a Navy SEAL. Reference the 2005 Stolen Valor Act. FYI, if you don't redact the story you are aiding and abetting. Strongly recommend you post the comments from the SEAL community to show respect and to also show fairness and transparency as journalists. You know that old integrity thing?
