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.

I am not a fan of Obama by any stretch , but where do you come up with some of this c**p??? He cannot, will not and has not signed any type of “order” stating Anyone cannot say Christmas!
Oh you forgot Christmas and then next Christmas then the Christmas after
As a veteran I am disgusted by this president who had shown over and over how much he hates this country and it’s customs. Obama needs to go.
This is untrue. As much as I dislike Obama ‘s policies, truth.org is usually a lie looking for advertisers.
My first amendment right to say Christmas.
Merry Christmas to our hero’s.
Whats next? Get rid of the chaplin? And the muslims can still pray during the day. Even though not everyone is muslim. Does anyone see whats happening? Our american traditions are becoming illegal. At the same time there muslim traditions are becoming mandatory and you are a racist if you dont accept it. We are losing our country. Our president is handing it over to our enemies. To people who have sworn to hate us. Hurry up and turn your guns in too. Is anyone else getting scared yet?
I would disobey that order multiple times daily
