The Rescuers were Rangers and SEALS(though i honestly had thought they were delta until a minute ago, lol).

The fact that it's not even clear to those with an interest in the military who actually 'rescued' Miss Lynch does demonstrate the colonels point that the rescuers aren't the ones that got 'press'.

Oh, and here's the details of the Jessica Lynch myth:

The woman was not raped, or even poorly treated by her captors, and instead recieved special care and had her own private nurse assigned to her. Jessica Lynch is a war hero like Elmer Fudd is a great hunter....

Here's a washington times article on the 'rescue':
