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.

Really, STOP SENDING OUR TAX $$$ to FUND MOSQES in foriegn countries!!
If this president was a true Christian, he would encourage the expression of faith and the celebration of the birth of our Savior despite, the intimidation of unbelievers. How can an unbeliever be offended by something he does not believe? It is because he wants to destroy and discredit those of us who believe in Almighty God and the Gift of Jesus.
