So, here I am looking to get timings and direction for the troops for that annual army tradition called the Men's Christmas Dinner.
2 days prior, I received a unit wide email. The Soldiers' Season Dinner will be held.....
the Soldier's What? The who's? I say WTF?
WHO thought of this? The next day I ask and it has been deemed by an officer (s) of my unit the "new political correct" term for the traditional dinner served to the troops by the leaders of the unit on or around the Christmas season.
Have we gone stupid? Do we care more for political correctness than our traditions?
Do other religions or groups change the name of their customs to ease our concerns? I don't think I have heard alternate names for Hanuka, Ramadan, Eade, or other peoples religious ceremonies? Why are we afraid to call Christmas, well, Christmas?
When and what exactly is soldiers' season? And who to say all that are attending this season dinner are soldiers?
