Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth reads fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction
During a Christian service at the Pentagon on April 17, 2026, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recited a prayer from the movie Pulp Fiction, attributing it to a combat search and rescue mission in Iran. Hegseth stated the prayer was used by the 'Sandy 1' CSAR mission, though the verse is a misquote of Ezekiel 25:17 from the film.
