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.
See how servicemen have reacted to not being allowed to say Christmas at the link below:
Obama, you suck the big one. Merry Christmas. Try to stop me from saying it over and over. You can G. T. H.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
I don’t respect anyone who doesn’t respect Christmas.
That is total bull our military has to follow the constitution and up hold all enemies foreign and domestic that is an oath they took and have to follow That nut case president can not change the constitution You mean to tell me if a man or woman that are in the military they can get in trouble for saying Merry Christmas. To one of. There family members that is total bull s…t I keep posting that he has to get out of the. White House he wants us to stop saying a lot of things (In God We Trust–Merry Christmas. —-does not want the pledge of allegiance ) and there. is more. Congress and the Senate have to stand up for the people we put you in. Office Now It Is Your Turn To Help The American People do your job that is. What you are getting paid for We the people have to stand together that is the only way we can get him out of office
Is that like saying, don’t say terrorist or Islamic terrorists. Obama has the problem saying those words as well. So if you can’t say those words and play nice then we’re going to just keep saying Merry Christmas and Jesus Christ is our Lord and happy New Year and all the PC things that you don’t like until you can say what we want to hear about that how you like them apples? How do you like us now Berry? If that’s your real name?
Screw Obama
That man’s sense of values is more screwed than a football bat. The happiest day of my life will be when that White House door slams on his & her backside for the last time. Keep Smoking Barry, inhale deep, and if you feel like another pack a day, go for it!
You know for someone who was supposelby born in American, he will. Not place his hand over his heart and pledge to our American. He has no RIGHT TO FORCE ANY ONE TO MERRY CHRISTMAS OR NOT. 1st amendment , freedom of speech. America has been doing this long before his sorry butt got into office. So Obama you know where you can go ,and it is not another vacation. We could help a lot of soldiers whom are not getting any help when they get back from FIGHTING FOR OUR COUNTRY but you lobve spending MONEY MONEY MONEY ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. LET’S SEE HOW MANY VACATIONS, GOLFING TRIPS AND MUCH MUCH MORE!!!!!
