we were told reaching out to each state national guard would likely be the best way to go. but in an internal e-mail obtained by the i-team the guard bureau also told all of its units to old off and not give us this information. and in another internal e e-mail we obtained, the national. guard sent out a message asking all units to start collecting this data because interest in the national guard has uncreased exponentially. that's when we sent out a survey to every guard unit in the nation asking them ten questions about how do you investigate sexual assault and what kind of punishments have you handed out. we got responses from 40 out of 54 units giving us our first numbers about what actually happens to those accused of sexual assault in the national guard. >> we have a bis of information. >> reporter: even congress hasn't been able to get the information we gathered. she was stunned by what we uncovered. only six states held a court-martial for sexual assault within the last five years resulting in just three incarcerations and one dishonorable discharge. most states use

and a major in the army national guard. but to me my brother is not defined by his extraordinary resume. he's defined by the quality of his character. the boy, the man who always held you close, the one who always made you feel safe the one who always made you feel braver than you might have been the one you could always count on for a special kindness. the one who listened. the one who was always there when you needed him most. the one who gave you credit for the things he did. he was our leader. and he never asked to lead. he was our leader who never judged who only inspired us through his example. he was clarity. a clarity you could step into. he was the clarity of lake skinnatlas at sunrise. a clarity that you could float in. a clarity that was contagious. he was that clarity not just for his family but for everyone who called him friend and his friends were legion. and those friends can attest to the multitude of times in which beau came to their aid without ever having to be asked. that's why when we were kids we call

you mentioned the national guard. the national guard does not exist because your council of representatives can't pass legislation on it. a case can be made that the international community should do more. but the perception here is that iraqis haven't done enough on political reconciliation. do you share and that what do you think needs to be done. thank you. >> translator: abadi, we look at him as partners. he needs support. and he also, he must take initiative to implementing agreements that were concluded in the past. because waiting or delaying will create a kind of feeling of no commitment to agreements that were neutral. and the project of reconciliation, we partner with him in it. we will continue to operate to achieve it. it is not an easy project. it is not slogans. it's a practical project. it was commitments on both sides. so my evaluation of this project is not up to the required level. the reconciliation prongt is not really convincing for me. but there are many challenges facing us all. and definitely t

represents a fundamental shift in the nature and role of the national guard. last year congress wisely created the national commission on the future of the army to offer a deliberate approach to addressing structure issues such as a.r.i. yet as it stands now, many of these transfers will be long done before the commission has examined the proposal and reported its recommendations. mr. chairman, once these transfers begin, it will be all but impossible to reverse them. we need to allow the commission time to do its work before the army takes any harmful and irreversible actions. in the fiscal year 2016 national defense authorization act, the house adopted an amendment to delay some apache transfers until june 30 2016. this amendment extends that responsible limitation to all national guard apaches while also taking important steps to ensure continued readiness of the apache fleet. together these provisions strike a proper balance between safeguarding our national security and preventing any premature apache transfers. only this can truly ensure that the irrepara

she thought she would join the national guard and be a part-time soldier just for the college tuition benefit and she was sure she would never go to war because she knew the national guard just did not deploy. she felt quite sure of that. when she was in training 9/11 happened and she didn't understand right away that the commitment she had made with going to be much bigger than what she had envisioning. when she goes overseas in afghanistan, she becomes very close to two other women in their political beliefs are in some cases the opposite of hers. so in the fall before michelle lifted in 2000, she had voted or not al gore and not george bush, but ralph nader. there's nobody else in her guard unit who was a nader supporter like she was. a woman she is sharing a tent quickly became her best friend during the deployment, deborah brooks who i mentioned had voted for bush in that election. during the daytime, michelle is working with an older woman, the oldest woman in her national guard unit debbie helton. debbie didn't vote in that election at all because she doesn't trust politicians

after 9/11 he joined the national guard. he felt it was his obligation, part of what those browner erbroader shoulders are for. he did his duty to his country and deployed to iraq and general odierno eloquently spoke to major biden's service. what i can tell you is when he was loading out to ship out at dover, there was a lot of press that wanted to interview him. beau refused. he was just another soldier. i saw him when i visited iraq. he conducted them the same way. his deployment was hard on hallie and the kids like it was for other families over the last 14 years. it was hard on joe. it was hard on jill. it's partly why jill threw herself into work with military families with so much intensity. that's how you know when jill thunders may god protect our troops in every speech she does. she means it so deeply. now, like his father beau did not have a mean bone in his body. the cruelty he'd endured in his life didn't make him hard. it made him compassionate, empathetic but it did make him a bore to bullies. joe's father gra

creating a sunni national tribal national guard for the sunnis to support the national guard forces. same way they are supporting the shia militia that are fighting elsewhere. this is what the sunnis want. this is the signal that will bring the sunnis back in. the reason it has not been done, is because the iraqi government and prime minister abadi are under pressure from iran not to do this. iran wants iraq to become a shia state that the bins to its will. they do not want the sunnis to have a power. this is a political move by the united states, and a military move. katty: let's talk about the military side. the something jon sopel was talking about. the risk this puts american forces in. every time you have more troops coming you need more forces to protect those troops. does it make americans more vulnerable, having more of them? general clark: to some extent. we know that isis is innovative in terms of creating new ways to deliver suicide bombs into forces. they put them inside tanks and trucks, they have put them in multiple attacks going after buildings. we are to some extent,
