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.

Even if it is true, nobody would pay attention to this “order” from the Idiot-in-Chief!!!
I am the wife of a vet, and we say MERRY CHRISTmas!
Utterly unbelievable. How dare he– authoritarian dictation. May the PEOPLE remind him this is still America—
God should send a lightening bolt from heaven & kill this maniac.
They ought to send him a card

Who would even join the military except for those who would agree with this weak president?
