Pentagon Chief Quoted 'Pulp Fiction' as a Biblical Verse 0 28

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegset found himself in the spotlight after a speech at the Pentagon, where he quoted a line from Quentin Tarantino's cult film 'Pulp Fiction.' Surprisingly, the minister mistakenly attributed these words to the Bible, causing confusion among many. The quote referred to a fictional biblical verse called 'Ezekiel 25:17,' which became famous thanks to the character played by Samuel L. Jackson.

Unexpected 'Prayer'

During his speech, the head of the military department invited those present to listen to a 'prayer' that, according to him, is traditionally used by American military personnel before the start of search and rescue operations. He even specified that this text was supposedly recited during a recent important mission to rescue U.S. Air Force pilots who were shot down over Iran. However, instead of the expected sacred scripture, the minister solemnly recited a monologue from the Hollywood blockbuster.

Quote from 'Pulp Fiction'

This is a well-known but altered quote that one of the film's characters dramatically recites before committing a murder. The words spoken by Hegset were: 'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men... And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.' This episode sparked heated discussions and became the subject of numerous comments.
