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.

Anyone who’s served in the military knows that as soon as you swear in your Constitutional rights turn into U.C.M.J. regulation. Since I’m separated though, Merry Christmas Mr. Obama to you and yours!
Say what you want to
That violates the 1st amendment.
This proves “Liberalism is a Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.
