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:
From a former AD Marine… MERRY CHRISTMAS
What have we become
Merry Christmas, Mr Obama
What will we wake up
Story is false, look it up.
He’s an idiot
Is this a free country or are we letting this Muslim dictator tell us what we can and can’t say!! So what’s going to happen if someone says Merry Christmas!!? He so dang crazy !!
I don’t believe this at all. Just someone starting some more hate.
