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.

He can go and jump into a cesspool
Wrong
Who will ever join the military when the milatary personal can not PROCLAIM their CHRISTIANITY …. In the ‘name’ of FREEDOM, OF CHOICE….Sounding more and more simular to a DICTATORSHIP….
I say do as you wish especially if it violates your constitutional right of freedom of religion!
Sad sad sad that is no good
It would be a cold day in hell when anyone would stop my FREE SPEECH !!

against everything our country is founded on…………TRAITOR
AMEN
All I want for Christmas is Obama to have the fleas of a thousand camels, and no way to scratch that itch… Lol
