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:
Once again why is he not in jail
A VERY FALSE CLAIM!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS. ……. !
Regardless whether this is true or not more and more senior leaders within the DOD….military and civilian alike, are choosing to say Happy Holidays. This may be for political correctness or because the DOD is full of people from different faiths, including muslims. But, I will continue to say Merry Christmas as ut is the only holiday I Celebrate this time of year.
