The Obama administration has directed the military to not allow personnel to say “Christmas”, in spite of the holiday’s status as a federally-recognized holiday.
The reason given by armed forces officials is that not everyone celebrates Christmas and that out of respect for them, military members should refer to Christmas celebrations simply as “holiday”-themed festivities.
This prohibition comes in the context of a wider push for political correctness in society in general and the military in particular, as evidenced by the recent reprimanding of Navy Chaplain Wes Modder for simply discussing religion, as chaplains are wont to do, with military personnel.

Is he nuts?
MEERY CHRISTMAS!
Our military needs to take him out. It’s obvious to the whole world he supports terrorism even Isis And isn’t it even more obvious that the first group of refugees 10,000 of them landed in New Orleans where the French came to the US at the same time France was attacked?
Wrong. It’s an unlawful order, therefore null and void.
Folks be saying it to everyone though, so no one is actually left out
