Right now defense Secretary Robert Gates on capitol hill discussing lifting the ban on gay serving in the arm forces.

It's the first major step since the 1993 policy don't-ask-don't-tell lighted firestorm.

Here CNN at pentagon correspondent Bennett Barbara Star.

The president made his intentions clear:

this year I will work with congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay American the right to serve the country they love because of who they are.

But the stone-face J.S didn't react to the sensitive matter.

We now know more about what they are thinking.

A senior pentagon official tells CNN that the chiefs are expected to support the president, but they will tell him to what extend they believe allowing gay to openly serve will hurt morale and readiness of the force.

The official says of the chiefs: all they want is a little bit of time to come up with their ideas on how to implement changing the law if it's proved by congress.

As the first step the defense Secretary Robert Gates is expected to call for no longer discharging people whoare outed by others.

Over the last 12 years nearly 11,000 people have been discharged from the military for being gay.

Defense officials privately say that appetite to enforce the law is declining.

Many say the debate now is how to live with the change.

W.G says just do it; It won't be that big a deal.

Existing government sexual behavior may be enough to lay concern about living in close quarters.

But that may not work for everybody.

We can talk about this very delicately or we can just be very direct.

There're a lot of 18-year-old old fashion that startonly in men in the military, who are tough guys and they are often politically old fashioned and conservative, they are not necessarily at…

現(xiàn)在國防部長羅伯特·蓋茨在國會山商討解除在軍隊(duì)服役的同性戀的禁令。

Right now defense Secretary Robert Gates on capitol hill discussing lifting the ban on gay serving in the arm forces.

這是自1993年不準(zhǔn)問，不要說政策燃起風(fēng)波后的主要一步。

It's the first major step since the 1993 policy don't-ask-don't-tell lighted firestorm.

下面是CNN記者芭芭拉·貝內(nèi)特從五角大樓發(fā)回的報(bào)道。

Here CNN at pentagon correspondent Bennett Barbara Star.

總統(tǒng)的意圖非常明確:

The president made his intentions clear:

今年我將與國會及我們的軍隊(duì)共同努力，最終廢除否認(rèn)同性戀美國人效忠國家的這項(xiàng)法律。

this year I will work with congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay American the right to serve the country they love because of who they are.

但是板上釘釘一樣的羅伯特沒有回應(yīng)這一敏感問題。

But the stone-face J.S didn't react to the sensitive matter.

我們現(xiàn)在知道更多關(guān)于他們所想的。

We now know more about what they are thinking.

五角大樓一位高級官員告訴CNN,主要人員期望支持總統(tǒng),但他們會告訴他額外的關(guān)于同性戀的效忠將會對士氣和即將開展的行動帶來打擊。

A senior pentagon official tells CNN that the chiefs are expected to support the president, but they will tell him to what extend they believe allowing gay to openly serve will hurt morale and readiness of the force.

官方表示:他們想要的只是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)來思考的時(shí)間，如果它被國會證明，該如何實(shí)現(xiàn)法律的改變。

The official says of the chiefs: all they want is a little bit of time to come up with their ideas on how to implement changing the law if it's proved by congress.

首先國防部長羅伯特·蓋茨預(yù)計(jì)將呼吁人們卸掉對于其他人的負(fù)擔(dān)。

As the first step the defense Secretary Robert Gates is expected to call for no longer discharging people whoare outed by others.

因?yàn)樵谶^去的12年因同性戀問題已有近11000人被軍方開除。

Over the last 12 years nearly 11,000 people have been discharged from the military for being gay.

國防官員們隱晦的稱對于實(shí)行這項(xiàng)法令的欲望正在下降。

Defense officials privately say that appetite to enforce the law is declining.

許多人稱現(xiàn)在該談?wù)摰氖侨绾胃淖儭?/p>

Many say the debate now is how to live with the change.

官員稱只要做即可。這并不是大事。

W.G says just do it; It won't be that big a deal.

現(xiàn)行政府可能擔(dān)心近距離生活所產(chǎn)生的性行為等問題。

Existing government sexual behavior may be enough to lay concern about living in close quarters.

但這可能對每個人都不是有作用。

But that may not work for everybody.

我們可以非常微妙地談?wù)撨@個或者干脆直截了當(dāng)。

We can talk about this very delicately or we can just be very direct.
