The documentary has definitely more to offer -- "Initially, it wasn’t that bad,” she says. “But it got more aggressive when the top bad guys (insurgent leaders) started going down, and we started finding intel and caches of weapons and cash.” They would sometimes return to their trucks to find they’d been bombed." Those women and children would panic until the Lionesses took off their helmets, revealing that they were women. But that later became a problem. “They put a bounty on Lionesses,” Ruthig says. “We’d keep our helmets to keep our hair up – but if you took your helmet off, women would come to you with intel. It was conflicting.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2026/08/16/lioness-tvs-lies-about-women-frontline/
