I'm with SASless on this one.
Anyone with the sort of intolerance displayed by the f*cker who cancelled Christmas is unfit to serve in a military that prides itself in defending (religious) freedom worldwide.
Tolerance and respect are two way streets..or should be anyway.
People with an axe to grind will always find something to "offend" their sensibilities. How far do we as societies want to go in placating them?
Good on the pagans for inviting everybody as long as they attend respectfuly. At least they seem to grasp the concept of freedom and respect.
