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:
If it’s on the Internet it must be true
I think the whole country should flood the Whitehouse with Christmas cards, and fill the white house lawn with nativity scenes
If they want to live in a place that does not celebrate Christmas more power to them!! But don’t expect to COME HERE TO OUR COUNTRY AND CHANGE OUR WAY OF LUVING BECAUSE IT OFFENDS YOU!! Tough c**p!!
It can’t be true, because FOX News would be all over it.
This is not true. I work on Fort Riley and Merry Christmas is on signs and displays all over post.
He needs the orkin man!
