Charles Djou, Soldiers Who Cannot Comply With DADT Repeal 'Shouldn't Be In The Service'

Less than a month has passed since former Honolulu City Councilman Charles Djou (R-HI) won the special election for the 1st Congressional District seat vacated by Neil Abercrombie. But in that brief window, Djou has already boldly injected himself into the debate over the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy.

[Lancey Howard]

"...this headline is inaccurate and is not representative of what Djou's remarks were."
"The above title is also a mischaracterization of his remarks."

How so?
From the article:
Mere days after being sworn in, Djou joined four of his GOP colleagues in voting to jump-start the repeal process.

He wants homos free to make out in the barracks, and if anybody doesn't like it they should not be in the military.

The title is completely accurate.

So Djou is another POS RINO. The title is misleading; he WANTS sexual perverts in the US military and not only that, anyone who doesn't like it should leave! He's truly a sickening idiot.

The Republican party needs a purge to get rid of RINOs. But because there are so many in the upper echelons, a purge won't happen; what is needed is a knock-down drag out fight between the actual conservatives/constitutionalists and the elite snob power-mad leftist phony Rs.

We will win when that happens, and they will lose. Needs to happen soon. Maybe November will help.

[what's up]

Ummmm...read my post.

I'm not talking about his vote. I'm talking about they way his recent comments are not accurately depicted in the headline.

[little jeremiah]

At my first glance, I thought his position was the opposite. It’s not exactly misleading, just slightly unclear.

If they grant Discovery and allow LTC Lakin access to the evidence, then DADT is history — as well as the Usurper in the Oval Office.

Somehow, I'm missing the connection between the LTC Lakin case and DADT. Any discovery done in his case would have to be relevant to the issues of his case wouldn't it?

[Bob]

You are NOT understanding correctly. Djou supports DADT and states that anyone who cannot serve under that regulation should not be in our armed forces.

I think it's you who is not understanding what's going on. He doesn't support DADT.

From the article:

Mere days after being sworn in, Djou joined four of his GOP colleagues in voting to jump-start the repeal process.

[Albion Wilde]

The wars will end soon, and that means a return to a Clinton-era military made up of career opportunist "leaders" who are more akin to your Pelosis and Reids than your Pattons and Murphies....(Exhibit A: GEN Casey, Exhibit B: GEN McChrystal)

Exhibit C: Colin Powell.

[Lancey Howard]

Djou supports repeal of DADT.
Now, here is a broader quote from Djou:

"...when the civilian officials, the President or the Congress, give an order, a directive, it’s followed, and it’s followed to a tee. That’s what you’re expected to do. And if you can’t do that, then you shouldn’t be in the service and you shouldn’t be wearing the uniform. It’s as simple as that."

What part of that has you confused, and how is the headline (Soldiers Who Cannot Comply With DADT Repeal 'Shouldn't Be In The Service') the slightest bit inaccurate?
Take your time...

[EDINVA]

and who is he to determine who should and should not be in the military?

[Lancey Howard]

Exhibit D: Weasely Clark
Exhibit E: Mike Mullen

[AmishDude]

If DADT is repealed, every gay serviceman will have a JAG officer on speed dial.

There will be endless complaints that the way the military operates is either explicitly or implicitly discriminatory to homosexuals.

The other effect of the repeal will be to effectively drive straight women entirely out of the military.

[Soothesayer9]

Loosely translated, “Those who aren’t HOMO shouldn’t be in the service”. Which is the way he wants it.

[Soothesayer9]

"All Hetero-Americans will LEAVE the Armed Forces. Let the gays have it"

So I guess no more Navy SEALs, Force Recon, and Green Berets? Maybe we can have two military divisions..one for the North, one for the South. Oh wait..we tried that didn't we? Sad :(

[Uncle Chip]

You’re right. I stated that incorrectly. However it is more than likely that he is holding this change of DADT policy over the heads of the military to make sure that they dispose of the LTC Lakin issue to his satisfaction. And then afterwards, he’ll doublecross them and institute his changes anyway.

THX...I corrected myself earlier.

[Bob]

THX...I corrected myself earlier.

Sorry, I had missed your correction.

[downtownconservative]

Jumping to a conclusion got me in trouble to begin with...no worries mate.

[Americanexpat]

Hey no sweat fight the war with faggots then. How many combat divisions can you put together with nothing but gays?

[friendly_doc]

Not many people realise this, but the UCMJ bans a whole lot more than just homosexual sex. Heterosexual oral and anal sex are also prohibited, and even married couples don’t get a pass. Fornication (premarital sex) is also against the rules, and that is almost universal these days.

In a sense, the military has always operated a DADT policy as far as illicit sex is concerned. That is, it turns a blind eye and doesn’t investigate unless it absolutely has to, for example if there is a major public scandal.

[Mariner]

Perhaps those services members should just line Mr Djou against the wall and shoot him?
