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.

The Christmas JERK !
I hope the military tells him to go to hell.
Violation of both freedom of speech as well as religious freedom. Geez if I was muslim I’d get whatever I wanted
Can’t do this. Will not be enforced.
Doesn’t he realize ,our young men in the Military are protecting their right to speak ?? It is one of the freedoms they fight to preserve !! And this tyrant wants to strip them of those rights?? HE IS THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF ALL THE MILITARY ,WE SHOULD STRIP HIM OF THAT JOB !!!!!
What? That is so stupid…
