I'm not savvy on this, but where did he claim he had a bronze star? Is it something he directly stated? His list of medals on wiki doesn't show it, I'm sure there is a better website for keeping track of those things. Regardless,if he's apologizing he's obviously acknowledging he did something he shouldn't have. Very surprising tho he would make something up considering his true achievements.

Brian stann has a silver star for that tank battle incident, what would a bronze star be awarded for?

Something slightly less bad ass, bronze being worth less than silver?

Yea I guess. Maybe he implied that he was third person to shoot someone that day and people got the wrong idea...

The shit really starting hitting the fan a couple of weeks ago. I was surprised to hear it, but it’s true.
