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.

Its amazing how people will just believe anything put on social media. Sad to say but this is the downfall of America. So much hatered spreading so fast. People say things they would never say face to face or even on the phone.
He does not have the authority to do this and that would be an unlawful order. It is the duty of all military personnel to support and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC! It is also their duty to disobey unlawful orders.
Why do Christians still like this fool???
God, please let Karma fix this man. Amen
This is false. Check Snopes.com. Some people will believe anything.

Brian Joseph McCarthy Read the article. But isn’t the military’s action bad enough to be outraged? “None are more blind than those that refuse to see”.
Merry Christmas to all.
And he continues to say – he no Muslim – really ?
