US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Reads Prayer from Movie Script

Pentagon officials have confirmed that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth read a prayer during a Christian service at the Pentagon on Tuesday.

According to reports, Hegseth recited a passage drawn from a quote by Samuel L. Jackson’s character in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 film Pulp Fiction. The quote is an adaptation of Ezekiel 25:17 from the Bible.

The event took place during a Christian service at the Pentagon, where Hegseth was the guest speaker. It has been reported that the passage was recited by the ‘Sandy 1’ Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) mission in Iran.

Details about the specific context of the prayer are not available. The Pentagon has confirmed that the event took place on Tuesday, but no further information is being released at this time.

It is worth noting that Ezekiel 25:17 reads: “And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.” The passage has been widely referenced in popular culture, including in Tarantino’s film.
