Hegseth paraphrases 'Pulp Fiction' version of Bible verse during Pentagon prayer

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a prayer during a Pentagon worship service, in which he appeared to paraphrase a fictional Bible verse from the movie “Pulp Fiction” without explicitly citing it.

Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell responded on X: “Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday shared a custom prayer, referenced as the CSAR prayer, used by the brave warfighters of Sandy-1 who led the daylight rescue mission of Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran, which was obviously inspired by dialogue in Pulp Fiction. However, both the CSAR prayer and the dialogue in Pulp Fiction were reflections of the verse Ezekiel 25:17, as Secretary Hegseth clearly said in his remarks at the prayer service. Anyone saying the Secretary misquoted Ezekiel 25:17 is peddling fake news and ignorant of reality.”
