Pete Hegseth quotes fake Pulp Fiction Bible verse during Pentagon sermon - what a fucking tool.

[Native]

Pete Hegseth was speaking at a worship service at the government complex when he read the prayer, as first reported by Word&Way. He said he had been given it by the "lead mission planner" of the rescue mission for two Air Force crew who were shot down over Iran.

"The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men," Hegseth prayed. "Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen."

The beginning lines were written by Tarantino & Avary and were delivered by Samuel Jackson in the movie, claiming (falsely) that they were from Eszekiel 25:17. The 2nd part was taken from the Bible. He says these lines just before gunning down someone.

1. What does one expect? It's not as if he's familiar with the bible. He is familiar with substance abuse ...

... slapping women around, and overweening pride.

[poozwah]

33. bible

this passage is from inebrius.

[maddiemom]

49. Good One!...BTW..(also to Marble Falls)

Bible is always capitalized because it's the NAME OF A BOOK, not for any religious reason,

[yardwork]

2. Hegseth is a joke.

[evolves]

38. A terrible, deeply

unfunny joke that will continue to have devastating consequences…

[Blue Owl]

3. A clown in a cherry picker

Hegseth’s bible is old-testament only

[Bettie]

4. Hey! Apparently he's branching out

to extremely violent movie quotes too!

He's a freaking idiot. If he ever had a brain, it's so pickled by now that it works only to move his carcass around and verbally fellate Trump.

[NNadir]

11. Nice locution!

[sop]

5. I know all those Old Testament prophets had "call signs," but which one was "Sandy"?

8. ROFL

[1WorldHope]

29. Hegseth is such a dumbass!

[surfered]

6. Why doesn't he just pray: "Lord, smite my enemies, smashing them into tiny bits. In thy mercy, Amen.

He’s as crazy as Trump.

[Lucky Luciano]

21. Brother Maynard!

7. Fall down funny

😀

[LeftinOH]

9. Hegseth's "Christianity" is a performance. So this tracks.

[Irish_Dem]

10. It's just a realty TV show to him.

He is only interesting in fame and ratings.

[allegorical oracle]

12. You nailed it. Noticed this a.m., during the everlasting Pentagon update, that Pete moves

aside to let others speak -- but stands in the classic "A" male stance -- at the ready to fight. He's such a wuss. Unable to deal with the meanie legacy media so he gives them a sound tongue lashing.

Meanwhile Pete's bully boss has cut millions from Catholic Charities funds. That'll teach that mean ol' Pope a lesson.

[ChicagoTeamster]

13. Hegseth is obviously an ignorant person who doesn't bother to check anything before speaking publicly.

But hey, when has anybody in either Trump administration ever cared about honesty, accuracy, or anything being correct?

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

14. "while giving a sermon at the Pentagon."

[mcar]

15. Fcking moron

Jeez.

[dalton99a]

16. Pathetic.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

17. Why don't they just go ahead and put an effin' steeple on the Pentagon and be done with it? Penta-gone fundie.

[Midnight Writer]

18. Actually, these quotes are in the Bible. Elon's Grok AI Translated Bible.

Grok went back to the earliest writings, filtered out all the woke bullshit, and used the proper interpretation of the Lord's Words.

It's a New World, and we all need to get with "The Program".

[Mblaze]

28. I've changed the channel but that program keeps playing,

[Initech]

19. $10 says he hasn't seen the movie past the opening scene.

[jmowreader]

20. Next time he'll quote from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 2

Armaments 2.9-21:

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits. in thy mercy' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats...

And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

25. Pete quoting Pulp Fiction

Quentin Tarantino should sue Hegseth for copy-write infringement

[PatrickforB]

26. The funny thing is this verbiage is not accurate. The movie director took poetic license. n/t

[Mblaze]

27. Jesus spoke about Donnie and Pete

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them".

30. Life s a movie // TV show to these idiots!

Exhausting!!

[Martin68]

32. Terminal moronism. He's in charge of our military. What could go wrong?

[maxsolomon]

34. He basically got Rickrolled

by the "lead mission planner".

It's all jokes to these assholes.

[usonian]

35. Hegseth is to Jesus as shit is to platinum.

He and Trump should choke on a tasty burger.

[CaptainTruth]

36. Is he trying to convince us the "rescue" was fake?

I've seen some people theorize it wasn't a rescue, it was an attempt to take suspected Iranian nuclear material.
If anyone has a decent source for that theory, please share if you will. I've only seen online comments by social media users.

A fake Bible verse to go with a fake rescue would be fitting.

[jimmy the one]

37. Appears this was intentional and not a biblical mistake

It appears he knowingly quoted Quentin Tarantinos pulp fiction.

Hegseth added that reminded him of the prayer handed to him a couple of days ago that was “delivered from the lead mission planner of Sandy 1,” the head of the recent rescue mission that recently located and extracted Air Force crew members shot down in Iran. Hegseth then led those at the service in saying the prayer.

“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” Hegseth prayed. “Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen.”

https://publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-borrows-violent-prayer-from

Before repeating that prayer, Hegseth mentioned he was told the prayer is titled “CSAR 2517,” which stands for “Combat Search And Rescue” and alludes to the fact that it borrows some wording from Ezekiel 25:17 (though there are other verses also used, like with his violent prayer at last month’s service). The last two sentences of the prayer do mirror language from Ezekiel, except the speaker is changed from being God to the commander of the U.S. mission.

[Seinan Sensei]

42. Someone should've handed him Twain's sardonic 'War Prayer'

O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells;
help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead;
help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain;
help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire;
help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief;
help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail …

41. Any remote chance the military will rise up against this goon?

[EnergizedLib]

43. As dystopian as this nightmare is

There is still a comical element to this Idiocracy.

You have to laugh at them sometimes so you’re not always crying over the enormous damage they’re doing that we’ll be lucky to undo in our lifetimes.

[LudwigPastorius]

44. What a drunken buffoon.

It must really stick in the craw of the career military to have to take orders from that feckless clown.

[Cosmocat]

45. I gotta say

Of the countless over the top / line bullshit these morons have done, this one really grates me.

Nothing is sacred if they coopt Pulp Fiction!

[carpetbagger]

46. Methinks it was a hit job from the Chaplain Corps

Fire the chief, cancel Catholic Good Friday, get the Burn of God's Delicious Revenge from Her military chaplains.

[blue-wave]

47. It is surreal to think

that the evangelical right wing Christians in the United States of America are being lead by Trump, Vance and Hegseth. I'm convinced that the three of them are mocking Christianity. If the evangelicals don't see this, I can only conclude that there is severe mental illness in their ranks. How else do you make sense of this?

[Renew Deal]

48. Trump has to fire him

I don't think it will happen quickly, but it has to happen. He was part of the deception and miscalculation about Iran presented to Trump. Hegseth is also obviously too dumb to hold the levers of power.

51. Another instance of...

52. Does ... Donald Trump ... Look Like... A Bitch?

Yes

[OC375]

53. Deliberately obtuse

I remember a guy at work saw Shawshank and was trying to work it into conversation for a while. Constantly. So clever.

I think this guy just saw Pulp Fiction for the first time and thinks no one else knows that scene yet.

It’s funny on a lot of levels.

54. Colbert did a fantastic job on this last night!
