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:
Obama can write all the orders he won’t to , we will do what we have always did here In America
Merry Christmas to the U.S. military personnel !!!
That’s just total B S . What happened to free speech, oh I forgot he took that away from us also.
That sounds like a clear violation of the 1st amendment

Nov 16, 2015 … I recently saw an article that states President Obama told the military that they cannot say “Merry Christmas” anymore. Is there any truth to this?
I hope this isn’t true:(
He can stick his ink pen up his a**. America’s done with his BS.
Merry Xmas , Obama.
Obama is trying to appease his muslim brothers before they die on Christmas Day merry christmas
I really don’t understand, why they focus so much on these political correctness, but not the main issues that really matter to the country.
