LEMON: Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, is in the second day of a three- day stand-down. Army commanders are trying to find a solution to the growing problem of suicides. Eleven soldiers have killed themselves since January 1, two just within the past week. Here's CNN's Pentagon correspondent, Chris Lawrence.</s>CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: This is nothing like a few days off. This is telling every soldier here on base "push all of your normal work load off to the side for three days and just focus on this one problem of preventing suicide." The soldiers here comprise the 101st Airborne, heavily-deployed unit to Iraq and Afghanistan. They're being told over these next three days, commanders, update your lists of at risk soldiers, pound it into the head of everyone on base the programs and the people that are in place for them to go for help. They've all got these cards with hotline numbers. Every soldier here has been assigned a battle buddy, someone he's responsible for and someone to look out after. This particular base has been probably the hardest hit. So far this year, a Ft. Campbell soldier is nearly three times more likely to kill himself than die in battle. Think about that for a second. Three soldiers from here were killed in Afghanistan this year; 11 committed suicide. That is a startling number, and that's why the commander ordered the stand-down. But it really doesn't stop with just one base. Already this year, the Army has about 64 suspected suicides, and last year the Marines had 41. Chris Lawrence, CNN, Ft. Campbell.</s>LEMON: All right. Chris, thank you. North Korea is making new threats and rattling new sabers. No doubt the communist country likes to push things as far as it can. But how far will it go this time, and how will the U.S. push back?
