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.

This is not true. Per directions sent out on sensitivity during the holidays. Not for or against other comments. Just clarifying what was sent down to the lowest level. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Delayed Merry Christmas to all men and women in the U.S. Military.
Next we will not be able to celebrate the 4th of July as Independence day, because England will be reminded they lost the Revolutionary War.
Just because it’s on Facebook doesn’t make this post true. I’m a retired veteran with many active duty friends in high rank still serving. Stop with the misinformation and feeding the hate
