Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, sparked controversy after he delivered a prayer at a worship service at the Pentagon, which seemed to be inspired by the famous line from the character Jules Winnfield in the film Pulp Fiction. The prayer, titled 'CSAR 25:17', was used in the context of the Sandy 1 rescue mission, which recovered downed pilots in Iran. Hegseth invoked an adapted version of the biblical verse Ezekiel 25:17, which has been criticized for not reflecting the actual scriptural text.

Critics on social media reacted, pointing out that his prayer is not biblical and was considered embarrassing. Hegseth did not explain how he came to this prayer, and the negative reactions highlighted the confusion between the religious message and that inspired by a work of fiction.
