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:
Merry Christmas num nuts! You have ruined this country
That can’t be true.
Merry Christmas! No one especially Obama should be able to say what we want. I had a boss once who said the same thing. Was suppose to just say Happy Holiday. Don’t work there anymore. I said I would not work for an organization that wouldn’t let me celebrate the reason for the season. By the way this was the Girl Scouts. Unbelievable!
The Great One, President Denali can’t stop me from wishing each and everyone in our military who celebrates Christmas a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Hey chief Merry Christmas
Freedom of speech
I find this hard to believe.If so,no one can celebrate the life and death of ANY significant historical figure.Jesus Christ is the most ABSOLUTE /OBVIOUS historical figure to be honored and celebrated.Christ gives hope to the hopeless,comfort to those feeling all alone.Why ON GODS GREEN EARTH would the mention of HIM be rebuked.As Commander and Chief I would welcome any belief that helps our troops who are defending freedom in a foreign country.The concept is ridiculous.
Let all of the people who don’t celebrate Christmas go to work then, and let the rest of us celebrate Christmas!
Merry Christmas, everyone.
First off… No, that didnt happen. 2, who cares. 3. Are you offended by everything?
Merry Christmas Barack HUSSEIN Obama! The majority of Americans are Christians. Dec. 25th is an American National Holidsy. It is the birth of the baby Jesus, our Saviour. If you don’t like the Americans and especially our wonderful patriotic military saying Merry Christmas just leave. DO THE RIGHT THING ONCE IN 7 YEARS AND RESIGN. GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!!
