I haven't seen this posted yet, so my apologies if this is a repeat.

I suppose most will just shrug this off and let it pass, but why do the patriots in this country allow this garbage to continue?

There isn’t one flippin’ place in the Constitution where it says that a soldier cannot say, Merry Christmas. It’s time to start putting these fags like this EO officer in jail for violating the First Amendment rights of another American. Put a few of these maggots in prison and this kind of crap will stop really quick.

Equal opportunity officer? Is this true?

Sounds just like the political officers in the old Soviet military.

“It’s unbelievable that the Army would ban ‘Christmas’ like it’s a bad word,” said Michael Berry, an attorney with the Liberty Institute, a legal firm representing the unidentified soldier.


Would that be this Michael Berry?

And so, if the Equal Opportunity Officer at Camp Shelby hears the evil words “Merry Christmas” is he going to write up the offender for a UCMJ Article 15 nonjudicial punishment? And what would this pompous jerk think a fair sentence might be? This jerk needs to be taken to the woodshed for a good spanking by his commanding officer — yesterday.

ZAMPOLIT

The Russian term for the political cops shadowing all officers in The old Soviet Union, even on submarines.

WELCOME TO THE USSA.

Once they let open gays in the military the suppression of Christian speech and faith was bound to happen.

How did your Congressman vote?

What is the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute? Do they force everyone to be deniers of Christ? Who are these people and what is the point except to shut up Christians? What happened to Christians who waged war against the Followers of the Prophet? What have we become? Merry Christmas!

Something important to ponder:

Why are efforts at secularization especially strong in the Army?

Because the leadership knows it is THOSE guys who will most receive orders to fire on Americans after the dollar goes kaput.

So there is a RACE on to create the army that the leadership NEEDS.

The Soviet Union had political officers.

The United States now has political correctness officers.

Merry Christmas is on my out of office email reply this week and i used it freely in conversations with army civilians and contractors near and far last week.
No one objected and cant think of anyone that didn’t return the greeting.

The Army is becoming pathetic. It’s Christmas and it always will be.

Obama really has turned the military into something from the Soviet Union. The Soviet military used to have “political officers” that would monitor the regular officers to make sure they did not do or say anything contrary to the Communist Party or ideology. Good example is the Clancy novel “Hunt for Red October.”

I’m done serving now, but this angers me greatly, even sitting north of the border!

“I will not comply!” should be the only thing anybody says.
