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:

I would be saying Christmas every day!
He is in office illegally, so how can he make legal decisions? He can go to hell, I will say Merry Christmas.
Ok, now you are making things up…
Hey God is in control not you, you evil puke
Nothing this ILLEGAL POS has signed is lawful. He is an illegal holding office in our country. He and his people committed fraud to get him in. No one has to follow any executive order he writes. A president has to follow the lsw, not change them because he doesn’t like them. We have laws in the constitution and he CAN NOT CHANGE THEM. He is not a dictator. He should be in prison for the rest of his natural born life.
Screw, the Muslim loving Chief.
But very Muslim!
This guy needs put out now he is going way to far into crazy
I personally can’t wait till that time runs out of ink.
If you are no longer in the service you are no different than the rest if us.
