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.

Our military needs to give Obama the bird finger salute!
It’s obvious he is a Muslim. He is changing America. He said he would. And he did just that. Only this isn’t the change we were looking for.
Merry Christmas

I am Jewish and have always wished my friends a Merry Christmas. In turn, they and my jewish friends have always wished me a happy Hannukah. I am not offended by the fact that Hanukkah is rarely mentioned during the winter holiday season. there is something definitely wrong with Obama. He should be impeached!
Derrick Pac Derrick How much American History have you studied and what did the teach you in school. The Forefather have Christianity implanted all over federal papers. To the girl who also replied and I cannot find your post who dared to call me a hypocrite because she apparently is an atheist who also agrees this country is not a Christian Nation–you even look like a snob to be calling someone a hyprocrit–go read some federal papers and learn why we fought to become a separate Nation from Britain you dumb clock.
Let’s replace the title “President” with Puss Boy!
