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.

Haha! Try me and my military family..
You can’t blame Obama. We have allowed it to happen.
What happened to Freedom of Speach?

Holy Cow!
Merry Christmas
“We the People” will say Merry Christmas for them. This POS isn’t a Commander in Chief!
Is it ok if we say Cwanza an African Christian festivali
Fortunately for the military, his “order” is NOT a moral one AND interferes with our 1st amendment right. Even more so, Christmas has become more about the holiday now-a-days then the actual reason for the season… soo why so serious over a “phrase?”
