Hegseth's Prayer: Pulp Fiction in Pentagon

0:00On April 17th, Pete Hegseth, our Secretary of Defense, kicked off her prayer service at the Pentagon by reciting what he called Ezekiel 25. 17. Turns out it was not from the Bible at all, but a customized version of that famous line from Pulp Fiction, the one Samuel Jackson drops his jewels. He tied it to Sandy One, the Air Force combat search and rescue team that just pulled off a daring daylight mission. They saved an American airman stuck behind enemy lines in Iran, and this is their go-to prayer, labeled C-SAR 25-17. The words Hegseth read, defending it as a custom prayer straight from those brave rescuers, clearly inspired by the movie.

Hegseth has stayed silent so far, leaving this blend of scripture, cinema, and combat heroism to spark debates on what counts as sacred in the ranks. That's the story for today.
