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.

And “domestic”
Another illegal order we do not have to listen to !
Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!!!!
I retired from military in 2014 and returned from Afghanistan in2013. We had Christmas decorations and cards sent from across the US. I was a senior leader of a camp. Our call had over 20000 Christmas cards sent to us. I do not believe this is a credible story. The are enough issues that are going on that a great debate can be made upon. We are in a time of rhetoric and turmoil…stick to the truth and report it…do not stretch or mis-report it. That is the 2nd story on this sight that I can dispute and say bull on.
I agree. Say it if you want to!!!
Imprison this Moozie!!

I don’t believe that
Where are the legislative and judicial branches? Is America just being run by the executive branch these days. This is a joke!!
Is this a joke or something?
