Pete Hegseth, the U.S. «Secretary of War», - made headlines after he delivered a prayer at the Pentagon on Thursday, April 16, that resembled a scene from «Pulp Fiction». In the famous 1994 film directed by Quentin Tarantino, there is a moment where Samuel L. Jackson recites a faux biblical verse, and Hegseth, 45, seemingly paraphrased it.
«This prayer was delivered by Sandy 1, who is one of the Sandys, for all the Sandys, all the A-10 crews, before all search and rescue missions, but especially before this mission, which was happening in real time», - Hegseth said, referring to the rescue of a pilot shot down in Iran.
The former Fox News employee continued: «They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think should reflect Ezekiel 25:17», - acknowledging the scene where Jackson’s character, Jules Winnfield, recites the supposed biblical verse before opening fire on a group of men.
«So, the prayer—it's CSAR 25:17, and it goes like this, pray with me, please: 'The path of the downed pilot is surrounded on all sides by the injustice of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, leads the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children,' Hegseth said. 'And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to seize and destroy my brother, and you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Amen.'»
While Hegseth’s prayer did not fully match the scene from «Pulp Fiction», - there were some parallels. Jackson’s line from the film actually goes: "
