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:

That is not american
I asked military family and they have not heard of any such order.
Does he monitor all speech in the military? Disgusting!!! Beglad when he’s not president and hop I never have to see his face again!!!
This stupid jerk.
Obama take your misguided political correctness and shove it! You are pure unadulterated EVIL!
BTW, CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS,
I am honestly trying to understand this man. He was elected President of the United States and everything he does says he is not American. I pray God saves his soul
Tell obama he has no right to tell anyone what to say islam offends most people who know the truth and he is insane led by demon spirits that only lie the more he talks the more he lies
The same as when he wouldn’t wear the flag lapel pin. He didn’t want to offend anyone.
Screw him
I agree
