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...

Why would I need to take my time? It's easy to answer and easy to see how the headline was twisted if you TAKE YOUR TIME to read his response.

He said immediately in direct answer to the question that in his experience NO service-people would NOT defend their comrades based on their sexual orientation. In other words, he respects the military and they would not resort to something as petty as that.

This has been twisted to imply that Djou said that those who didn't support the repeal didn't belong in the service, as though these same people would never defend gays in a time of war. Ridiculous stretch.
