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:
MERRY CHRISTMAS BARRY I mean mary
Ted Cruz has a ‘pen with an eraser”.
How about finding something recent to post? This is old news, surely there is something more pressing and timely than this. I don’t agree with the order to stand down on Christmas, but you gotta find something current to discuss.
This is a lie, why do people spread these lies. Are you people this naive to believe this stuff
Have you people no shame, do you hate that much to lie and spread crazy rumors like this
As much as LOATHE Obama, this is an old internet hoax that has been going around for years. My son is in the Marines. They have churches on bases, camps and forts. They still have Chaplains. Even in boot camp, he went to church. They have areas for all religions set up for people to worship or not worship as they feel.
