Curious Moment at the Pentagon

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth sparked curiosity after he led a prayer at a Pentagon briefing and cited what he called “CSAR 25:17,” presenting it as linked to Ezekiel 25:17 — but the passage he offered sounded far more like a movie monologue than scripture. Read on to discover the full story!

What He Said

Hegseth, a former Fox News personality, told the audience the prayer honored a rescue by an Air Force CSAR team and used language about duty, camaraderie and vengeance, closing with a reference to his call sign, Sandy 1. Observers noted the words closely resembled the famous speech delivered by Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the film Pulp Fiction, not the biblical verse Hegseth cited.
