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.

Enough is enough. It is MERRY CHRISTMAS because it is the birth of JESUS. If anyone doesn’t like it go home. I’ll help you pack
What a dictator, he needs a “come to Jesus meeting”.

Unlawful orders can and should be ignored
Have heard of the first amendment. Maybe you should read it. It’s called freedom of speech. You p***k.
The guy is just a clown, down the road everyone will know his terms in office just a bozo!
Yeah because some weak minded Muslim might loose it and go on a shooting spree.
I would like to see him try to prosecute someone under this “order”. The public backlash might just get the sorry SOB impeached, finally. The guy has been a PITA ever since he took office.
