Iraq documentary focused on female soldiers

I should have posted this on Veteran's Day, this past week. It's a review I recently wrote of a documentary about US service women in Iraq. The special team was called "Team Lioness" (they don't seem to have had any inkling of the implications of "lioness" in Arabic) and used to interact with Iraqi civilians in situations in which women were needed. It's a pretty good film, and one more reminder of how much Iraq (remember Iraq? Now that the election is over..) has cost. Although I think we need to always remember that it's cost Iraqis way more than it's cost our country.
