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:
Freedom of speech ?????Tell him to “shove”his orders !!! He’s getting more arrogant ,if that’s possible, his army is et the gates !!! An he has diminished ours !!!!
” Saladin ” should have had such easy Victory’s – but of course he did not have Progressives working for him inside the civilization he was trying to destroy.
This story has been going around for a couple of years and is just as false today as it was then.
It all came about because of a meeting at a single base in Mississippi discussing whether or not the Army could endorse a Christian specific event. It had nothing to do with Obama.
In God We Trust and Merry Christmas!
U r so wrong it hurts my head. Do some research not only are we not a christian nation the founding fathers were very much against religion.
