information can't just come in and ruin your military career and also the decision goes up now to generals and admirals instead of lower chains of command. this will continue to reduce, the numbers go down every year, the number of discharges. will this be opposed? certainly but it is as charles points out a year long review. we are talking about a decision congress would make only after a study is done and then opponents can cry foul then. it hasn't been made now. >> bret: despite the fact that vice president biden said it would be repealed by the end of the year. >> it won't be politically we know before the election. the pentagon is asking to are a year to study it and they haven't taken an institutional temperature reading and they will tell the congress what they know and what they have about this transition that will be very powerful and very important and have to take place slowly. it is not going to be a year. i don't think it will be two or three. >> bret: the last big study was done back in '93 by rand corporation.
