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.

Tell that muslim POS to go to hell where he belongs!! Merry Christmas to all Americans!
First off the Military isn’t just Christian. It’s many people of many faiths. So banning a Holiday Salutation from any one isn’t going to fix the problem of his secretly allowing Islamic Terrorists to join any branch.
During the Induction Routine they should separate anyone they believe will be offended by hearing the Christian Holiday Salutation. Put them in a special room. Say Merry Christmas over the PA. If they explode they can’t join our Military.
Merry Christmas Hussein. Swine.
To all active military and veterans just wanted to wish you all a merry CHRISTmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS and to hell with Ovomit
Merry Christmas
you know where you can go BO, to HELL
Impeach the heathen.
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
