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.

It just proves he’s not an American
hold on! I’m a democrat and I never voted for him…ever, and I won’t vote for hillary. I don’t vote because I’m a democrat, I vote for who I beleive is the best candidate. I don’t beleive there should even be a split in the parties. One was for the working class, and one was forthe rich. It don’t hold anymore. and the electoral vote should be eliminated too!
Yet some idiot is going to post on here that Obama is a Christian. NOT HARDLY!!!!!
