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.

Yet more teabugger lies about the president. This is a gross mischaracterization. And ALL churches are open everywhere, just as they always have been.
Don’t let the truth get in the way of all you asshats.
I am willing to bet without even reading this pseudo news article that it has the truth value of a sackful of farts, no matter how many Likes and Shares it has
You’d have to be a flipping idiot to believe this.
Who cares what he says. If I was still in I would be on the street corner telling everyone “MERRY CHRISTMAS”!!!!!!!
