During a Christian service for Pentagon staff, Hegseth referenced 'CSAR 25:17' and recited Samuel L. Jackson's fictional Ezekiel 25:17 from the 1994 film, tying it to the recent rescue of two pilots downed by Iran on April 3 amid Operation Epic Fury. The prayer celebrated a daring 14-hour mission over Easter weekend that extracted the airmen without casualties during a U.S. aerial campaign targeting Iranian sites. Critics like Keith Olbermann mocked the mix-up as quoting Tarantino over scripture, while defenders noted Hegseth presented it as inspired by scripture to honor CSAR teams. ]]> Fri 17 Apr 2026 12:36:04 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614259/this-is-what-we-re-dealing-with-hegseth-recites-pulp-fiction-lines-as-bible-verse-in-pentagon-prayer/
