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:

A Merry Christmas would start with the removal of this Traitor in charge!! Immediately.

Does he really think we will obey him?
Hey! If it’s on the interweb, it has to be true!
They are chopping off heads in the middle east to rid the world of Christianity , and Obama is doing his bit from the Whitehouse to eradicate Christianity here in America !If he thinks he will succeed , he is sadly mistaken !! My only question is , how much longer are we going to put up with his dictatorship ? Have we had enough? Are we cowards ? You do know , we CAN STOP HIM ,IF WE REALLY WANT TO !!
Oh, cause “truth and action” is Pulitzer prize winning for it reliably. If snopes is wrong, and this site is correct give me the order number and date of this supposed executive order.
I don’t care what he thinks, … HE CAN’T DICTATE WHAT WE SAY….PERIOD.
