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.

I really hope none of them followed this rule.
Merry Christmas President Obama, Sincerely CPT Charles Stewart
Maybe it’s time for our military to stop listening to anything this fraud has to say.
Come on people, this is not true ! Why do you perpetuate the BS? You are the problem, not Obama. It’s an embarrassment to your intelligence!
POS!
Just meant to stir up the crazies, as it apparently did
Actually not true
Sorry, throwing the BS card! I’m certainly not an Obama fan, but this website puts out bogus info.
