Pentagon defends Trump official quoting fake Bible verse from cult crime-comedy

from Knewz · host Mystify Entertainment Network

 The Pentagon moved to defend Secretary of War Pete Hegseth after he recited a prayer at a Pentagon worship service that closely resembled a fictional monologue from Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction, a passage that has never appeared in the Bible. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell addressed the controversy in a statement on X, writing, "Secretary Hegseth on Wednesday shared a custom prayer, referenced as the CSAR prayer, used by the brave warfighters of Sandy-1 who led the daylight rescue mission of Dude 44 Alpha out of Iran, which was obviously inspired by dialogue in Pulp Fiction.

During the worship service at the Pentagon, Hegseth said the prayer, known as "CSAR 25:17," had been used by "Sandy-1" combat search-and-rescue crews before missions, including a recent operation involving two U.S. Air Force personnel, who were shot down over Iran.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
