Hegseth Recites Fictional ‘Pulp Fiction’ Bible Verse During Pentagon Prayer Service
Sean Parnell said the prayer was inspired by Pulp Fiction, while Hegseth said it came from a combat search and rescue unit.
- During a monthly worship service at the Pentagon, the Secretary of War led a prayer for a Combat Search and Rescue mission in Iran using a text he identified as "CSAR 25:17."
- The prayer heavily featured lines about "the path of the downed aviator" and "the tyranny of evil men" that were originally written by Quentin Tarantino for Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the movie Pulp Fiction.
- While the Secretary stated he believed the lines reflected the biblical passage Ezekiel 25:17, the actual scripture is significantly shorter and does not contain the "valley of darkness" or "brother's keeper" phrasing found in the cinematic version.
