Has Brian Williams Been Lying About Coming Under Fire When He Visited Iraq in 2003?

Brian Williams has been reporting for years that he was in a helicopter that took RPG fire and went down. He was rescued by some other soldiers and he never forgot it. So, to say thanks, he invited one of the soldiers to join him at a Rangers game as his guest. Pretty cool, huh?

Except it's not true. He was never in a chopper that was hit by an RPG. He was in one that was an hour or so behind the one that did.
