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.

It is illegal to follow an Illegal order.
POTUS / CIC DOES NOT HAVE LEGAL PURVIEW , PERIOD.
Make no mistake this is cultural Marxism…..it may seem small but overtime they are phasing out American traditions simply by first changing the names…,several years from now you won’t even be able to display Christmas decorations in public……Obama is a big player but it goes a lot higher then him.
Bite me Obama
I hope they defy him. God
Well said!!

He has no right to tell you what you can and can’t say. I hope you continue to say MERRY CHRISTMAS. God and the majority of Americans will stand with you. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all military.
