Army: Don't say Christmas
Fox News ^ | 12/12/2013 | Todd Starnes

Don’t say Christmas.

That’s the message that was conveyed to a group of soldiers at Camp Shelby by an equal opportunity officer from the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, according to a soldier who attended a recent briefing.

“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.

Two weeks ago, a routine meeting was held at the Mississippi base with various leaders of the 158th Infantry Brigade. During the meeting, they discussed an upcoming Christmas football tournament. The equal opportunity officer immediately objected to the usage of the word “Christmas.”

In my Army experience, Equal Opportunity Officer was an additional duty usually assigned to a company grade officer who was an ineffectual dork not good for anything else & was a minority to boot.

However, his/her authority depended directly upon command emphasis and in the current climate the EO can indeed wield the same busybody power of the old Soviet `zampolit’.

Glad I’m retired, sorry I have to say that, now.

“Equal opportunity officer?” Not really. The actual title is Political Commissar. There will be one posted to each Command Unit in the revised Order of Battle.

Merry Christmas Zippo—The Army would do best to discharge all these Equal Opportunity Advisers. Their Ignorance is astounding.

This female "Obama Whore Political Officer" needs to be dishonorably discharged ...


How those 3-4-star officers can tolerate such "bravo sierra" nonsense is unbelievable ...


especially how "The Almighty" has saved the U.S. Army's rear several times at "Christmas" ...


Gen. Washington at Trenton ... and the 101st Airborne at the Battle of the Bulge in 1944.




GENERAL GEORGE S. PATTON, JR.'S PRAYER

"Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend.

Grant us fair weather for Battle.

Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations.

Amen."

Well done ... excellent post ...

All Godless-Atheist-Socialist political officers should meet the fate of the Red October's Ivan Putin.

Put up or shut up, Army. Send the MPs after me when I say “Christmas.” You ain’t got a hair on your ass, Army. Bring it.

Look at your commercials. They sing songs like “My kind of holiday.” This Army thing is an inculcation of what has been going on throughout society since around 2005, when “Christmas” first became a profanity.

“The actual title is Political Commissar. There will be one posted to each Command Unit in the revised Order of Battle.”

That’s what Stalin did. These communists who have assumed leadership in our society are true believers.
