I agree with that. That's why my comment questions the number of people considered to be involved with the rescue.

I can see it to be a highlight in an obiturary of anybody, lets say a cook, who happened to be attached to one of these units that rescued Lynch.

Going back and reading it over again, it's very hard to know what part the three played in the rescue. As you suggest, the news media are always looking for an angle to spice up the news. As I read it, only one of these men may have participated in the actual rescue, but there aren't enough details given to be certain.
