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.

Someone who argues about Christianity and doesn’t argue about Islam is just an idiot! But they will blast Christians and God! I’ve come to the conclusion these people are worse than a 2 year old starving for attention. Don’t worry when you get scared we all no you cry and call on his name! Have faith and quit talking down on God!!
Up your’s, Christamas, Christmas!!!
