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 from this old vet.
It doesn’t matter how often you point out the truth to these hammerheads, their “action” will be to publish more ridiculous horseshit.
The pile does get high, Hence, why Trump is leading in the polls.
Hey Obumer, F U
not a fan of the bama admin at all but fact check this one….fk Isis.
While in the Military some of your rights are restricted, the freedom of religion is not one of them. Therefore he is overstepping his authority and the order is unlawful. Uniform Code Of Military justice allows military personnel to disobey an unlawful order.
CHANGO!!!!!
SCREW Obama
The Muslim Moron!
It’s not true, you are ignorant.
