In the few moments of research I did, I can find no record of an "Able Company" in the 509th Parachute Infantry...The Army typically uses Alpha Company, and I think he went with the World War II version, probably because he never though to check...
He is an embedded reporter, though, and has his ass on the line, so he does get some leeway, but if you want to go after him, the facts he got wrong would be a good place to start. I could be wrong, too, but I don't think I am. On account of I was in the Army once, and am writing this from Baghdad.
