Meanwhile, the former private Jessica Lynch also testified about the false reporting of her capture and rescue in Iraq. Lynch first gained national headlines when she was captured in the first week of the Iraq invasion.

Jessica Lynch: “At my parents’ home in Wirt County, West Virginia, it was under siege by media, all repeating the story of the little girl 'Rambo' from the hills of West Virginia who went down fighting. It was not true. I have repeatedly said when I was asked that if the stories about me helped inspire our troops and rally a nation, then perhaps there was some good. However, I am still confused as to why they chose to lie and make me a legend when the real heroics of my fellow soldiers that day were legendary.”
