They went to Iraq as cooks, clerks and mechanics and returned a year later as part of America's first generation of female combat veterans. In LIONESS, Directors Meg McLagan and Daria Sommers give an intimate look at war through the eyes of women and the U.S. military policy that bans them from combat.

LIONESS premieres Thursday, November 13 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.

Why the hell is this country sending it's women to war? Having our military depend on women as much as it does has been disastrous, and it is only going to get worse. 10,000 years of human warfare can't be wrong: women should not fight wars.

I saw the documentary last night on PBS. These ladies are the coolest. Their commander is this gorgeous redhead. I'm sure the otaku guys will be lining up for autographs. However, it looks like they are getting just as little support as all the other Iraqi vets coming home.
