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:
Think of all the low life’s who still support him. Anyone who thinks he is a great president should be tested for drugs.

Hopfully everyone that voted for him now will recognize the truth about him and his dangerous religion
You been punted. First clue the wasn’t an author to take credit. Then no one bothered to check an see the schedules of the military bands holiday concerts or the songs they will be playing.
No according to scripture your behavior or venting hatred does not mean your not christian. The scriptural word for you is fools. Merry Christmas.

Thanks, Linda. I’ve started to use Snopes as a back up on some of these crazy stories on all sides of the fence.
Take care
