A military physiatrist, charged with going into the heads of other troubled soldiers goes berserk, killing twelve and wounding 31 others.

Speaking at the University of Delaware's Global Agenda series on climate change, CIA analyst and retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Richard Engel explored why global warming could challenge U.S. National security interests around the world and at home, posing a threat to U.S. military readiness and to vital economic, diplomatic and political relationships.

Air Force Maj. Kim Campbell - Distinguished Flying Cross, Our Hero of the Week. The A-10 Warthog may be one of the slowest, ugliest planes in the Air Force, but it's the best friend a soldier or Marine could have in a close fight. And it's the last thing an enemy ever wants to see - especially if the pilot's call sign stands for 'Killer Chick.' On April 7, 2003, then-Capt. Campbell and her flight lead responded to a call for air support in downtown Baghdad, where an elite unit of the Iraqi Republican Guard had U.S. forces pinned against the Tigris River. Campbell and her wingman faced bad weather before they dove out of the sky and devastated the enemy with rockets and the Warthog's feared 30mm Gatling gun. After successfully hitting their targets, the pilots turned back toward base - and that's when Campbell's jet was rocked by a large explosion, and immediately began pulling to the left and toward the ground. With numerous caution lights flashing, the one that worried Campbell the most was the hydraulic lights. A quick check confirmed her suspicions: Her hydraulic system had been fried. She would later discover that one of her engines was badly damaged and the fuselage was riddled with hundreds of bullet holes. Campbell quickly switched to manual inversion, allowing her to fly her Warthog under mechanical control. She then had a decision: try to fly 300 miles back to base, or parachute into hostile territory. This was dicey terrain, so she decided she had to make the flight. Despite the heavily damaged aircraft and terrible weather - including massive dust storms - 'Killer Chick' persevered. With the help of a seasoned pilot on her wing, Campbell landed safely back at base - fully prepared to take to the skies again and unleash the Warthog, as well as her moniker, on any opposing forces. For her actions and bravery, Campbell was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for Heroism.

While transporting men and equipment from Baghdad to Fallujah by helicopter on Nov. 13, 2004, Major Glover and his wingman came under heavy fire from the ground. His crew immediately returned fire--but suddenly insurgents started shooting at them from the opposite direction as well. Glover and his co-pilot dodged enemy fire as his men tried to protect the other helicopter. After escaping the immediate kill zone, Glover realized that his wingman's helicopter had been damaged. He escorted the other helicopter to Baghdad. The evening wasn't quite over though; after arriving in Baghdad, Glover immediately directed his crew to reload their weapons to support a second mission planned for that night. That mission, an assault on an enemy safe house, led to the capture of three high-value targets and the detention of 10 suspected insurgents. For his leadership and actions, Glover received the Distinguished Flying Cross on June 10, 2005.
