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.

Is there any end to this MADNESS???
CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS MR OBAMA CHRISTMAS YOU NEED CHRIST IN YOUR Shrug Life
Our gov. Is a joke !!!!! Like watching jerry springer
They serve and protect the United States of America, it’s citizens AND the constitution !!! Then can they all come home !!! What an asswipe!!
Why is this not surprising. Without Christ, there would be no Christmas, If you are celebrating ‘the holidays’ then you are celebrating the birth of Jesus.
We cant call you president.
