...game: no Jar Jar, no Ewoks and absolutely no smooching, just a bunch of grizzled space commandos kicking Geonosian butt (and several other species of butt) for the greater glory of the Republic. (It all takes place between Episodes II and III.) Game play combines hard-core first-person combat with some brainier tactical-squad-based action. If the past few movies didn?t have enough military edge for you, don?t worry, it?s all right here. (For PlayStation 2 and Xbox...

Taken over by the Americans in 1951, the hospital was regarded for years by military doctors as a quaint backwater, out of touch with both Pentagon politics and the cutting-edge research of combat medicine.

Abraham Lincoln off the coast of California. She quickly dismissed the rhetoric. "The life we live and the life Americans believe are two different things," says Whyatt, 37, who's been an Army nurse for 14 years and moved...
Ensuring that the military rules of engagement are enforced is both necessary and honorable. Charging combat troops with premeditated murder when mistakes are made under duress defies the logic of self-defense during warfare...
