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:

Go9d sees and hears all and I pity this evil person for his final eternal destination.
A bitter memory clinging on like a stench in your nose. Begone foul thing.
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, that’s the dam problem people keep acting like dam sheep being herded, TIME TO BE THE WOLF!!!!
I would defy that order, we still have a 1st Amendment.
Just ignore the idiot ,Obama is like a bad case of diarrhea you have to get rid of it to feel good.
OBAMA Go TO F……. HELL WHERE YOU BELONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS
That order can be ignored as it can be argued that it is an unlawful order under the UCMJ.
