Charles Djou, Soldiers Who Cannot Comply With DADT Repeal 'Shouldn't Be In The Service'
Hawaii Reporter ^ | 06-16-10 | Jason Linkins

Posted on 06/19/2010 12:10:06 AM PDT by LeoWindhorse

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.

I wonder if they are also going to modify the UCMJ. Seems to me they sort of have to do so.

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.
Barney Frank "came" up with DADT(DHDP) and now opposing it makes someone a RINO. Just recapping for everyone.
The act prohibits any homosexual or bisexual person from disclosing his or her sexual orientation or from speaking about any homosexual relationships, including marriages or other familial attributes, while serving in the United States armed forces. The "don't ask" part of the policy indicates that superiors should not initiate investigation of a service member's orientation in the absence of disallowed behaviors, though credible and articulable evidence of homosexual behavior may cause an investigation. Violations of this aspect through persecutions and harassment of suspected servicemen and women resulted in the policy's current formulation as don't ask, don't tell, don't harass, don't pursue.

Is Charles Djou going to put himself at the front of a combat zone?

Is Djou going to say what he has alone among our military servicemen and women?

Djou is probably for re-instituting the draft....=.=

Djou is an idiot.

Problem is, there WILL be a lot of people who “vote with their feet.” Is the loopy left doing this by intent or accident? Something tells my Spidey-sense that this is most definitely with intent.

I have no idea how it will affect recruiting but it won’t be positive.

When 17-21 year-old males are your prime demographic for recruiting, what do YOU think the effect will be?

That’s cool. I’ve been in the Army for 12 years, been to two wars, have a batch of shiny medals and badges, have experience in Infantry combat on the ground and a look from higher level on how those elements communicate and coordinate using the latest digital systems.

I’ll likely be getting out when my current obligation is up. The Army and the government can have their faggots. I got better places to be.

Thank you for your service so very much, Sir.

You're a good example of what will happen if the PC homosexualization of the US military takes place. Real men will turn in their uniforms out of honor, dignity and self respect. These Marxists really do hate our troops and our troops are on to them.

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.

They should be massage therapists, hair stylist or interpretive dancers, etc, etc.

So, will those soldiers that don’t believe in the gay agenda be given a free “honorable discharge” from the military? I doubt it because there would be a pretty large number of soldiers leaving if that were the case.

Dijou is also against the Iraq war and is a democrat in Republican clothing. He will probably switch parties to win this fall.

There is NO way that HI will go to a Republican in a regular election.

I stand corrected. Djou must be gay.

I agree with him. If you don’t want to see homosexual snuggling in your barracks, you should be allowed to leave the military immediately with a full honorable discharge, because the service memeber served with honor—its the military brass and civilian “leadership” that decided to be dishonorable. Let the gays go fight and die in our wars, as they claim they want to do. When we can’t meet recruitment quotas, draft the gays! It will be their military, so let’s make them all step up to the plate!

I stand corrected. Djou must be gay.

Who was responsible for DADT (Answer: Clinton, 1993)?

The above title is also a mischaracterization of his remarks.

We won’t have a military if this is adopted. At least not one that can fight.

No, it'll grind on for a while. Mostly it'll be lesbians that come in, but there have been more than a few homosexual men, too. And then the sexual harassment will start, possibly even assault. The former will be ignored at the behest of higher, the former will be hushed up with little mention made and therefore no awareness of the problem put out to the rest of the Army, at least not in the homosexual sense. The Army will, of course, still rail against sexual assault, but it'll always be of the male-on-female variety that is portrayed.

Eventually, even the lifers will see what is happening and either get out or hold on for an earlier-than-planned retirement. 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.

That means P.C. will run even more amok than it is now (Exhibit A: GEN Casey, Exhibit B: GEN McChrystal), and the Army, at least, will be a very hostile environment for truly good leaders. Sure, some will squeak through, they always do, but too many will not, and their light will be choked out by P.C., political posturing, and an ever-expanding bureaucracy meant to destroy good ideas before they can get off the ground.

I think Djou's vote was horrible.

That being said, this headline is inaccurate and is not representative of what Djou's remarks were.

I spent three years in a Catholic Seminary that had a bunch of homosexuals in residence. I can tell you that getting into a community shower with a bunch of known homosexuals leering at you, making comments, is unnerving. Many potentially good future priests left the seminary because of this problem. I feel sorry for our boys in the military. They have to live in close quarters and they should not be subjected to the same thing I was in the seminary. But you know that in the military environment it will be even worse.

I wonder if he will reconsider this action as Jihad Johnnie is taking his head because there is no one left to protect us?
