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.

Thanks Mike. Glad to see this isn’t true
I can write a book with more words and pages than “War And Peace” about the unconstitutional things our president is doing to undermine the fabric of our country, but I will point out the lies, because every lie like this diminishes people’s belief in the ones that are the truth.
Exactly. Not a fan, have what I feel are real reasons, but false accusations like this do not help
