I thought Hegseth had quoted Pulp Fiction and the issue was that it's blasphemous to do so by a gov official and such... but no, it totally looks like this idiot did not know this was not an actual Bible quote

The lesson here is "if you think they cannot possibly that dumb, forget about it and double down"

Separation of a church and state or nah? How is this allowed?

Performative christians should get double hell.

These guys are such incredible losers. This guy in particular.

🤣 at least the end of the world is funny

There are so many layers of what the fuck going on with this. A veritable dagwood of blatantly wrong decisions over the course of decades, relentlessly stacked upon one another and pinned together with the twin toothpicks of true faith and true grift. This is the culmination of a soul destroying amount of failures.

Tv guy prays to movie quote. You can probably figure out which AI he used by asking them all for the verse.

"Pentagon Prayer Service"

Oh good lord we are dooooooomed

for years, I smugly thought our military was past this crap. what a dummy i was, no wonder everything is so fucked

I haven't been to a lot of churches, but I have been a part of a few church congregations, and they have been without exception bat-shit crazy.

terrifying

I'm not sure what irks me more. The existence of a "Pentagon Prayer Service" or this idiot quoting invented bible verses.

Can we just talk about the fact that this "prayer" has the word 'aviator' in it and this moron in charge of our destructive power either didn't notice or didn't care?

This is one way I know that religion is bullshit, because if there really was a God, these guys would all end up a smoking hole at the podium.

“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of camaraderie and duty shepherds 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. Amen.”

Dude probably prompted ChatGPT with the words Bible, badass, and US military and than asked it to replace some words with the rescue operation. That's my guess as some of the word replacements make no sense.

100% this came from ai slop gibberish that this idiot has been convinced is able to think and reason because it's easy to convince immoral idiot gibberators to drink the fruit flavor sugar drink if you pay them to.

Could be worse, he could have called upon Brother Maynard to read from the Book of Armaments...

Please tell me he started the quote from "Say what again, mortherfucker".

but they will see it not for the lord god shall pour upon their minds a multitude of dumb fuckery!

I wonder if he used Gemini or chatGPT to generate the speech.

ahh good ole copyright infringement

Does it even matter what these people say? Apparently not, because none of them has ever said anything even remotely intelligent, let alone productive. Nothing but hate and lies for years - this latest embarrassment hardly seems worth reporting, given all the crimes the U.S. regime is committing.

But hey, politics works through entertainment, which the clever people behind these people naturally know. That’s why they've chosen a cabinet of clowns as straw men - because they’re so embarrassing that the relevant news doesn’t stand a chance against their entertainment factor.

That’s unfortunately how our world works, and that’s why the worst of them all always get off scot-free: their crimes are simply too complicated to generate any interest.

TIL the bible quote in pulp fiction is fake, any reason Tarantino felt the need to do so?

From this article (better than one posted yesterday), it's clear the error was saying the prayer was based on a Bible verse, when it's based on the Pulp Fiction script. In the movie, the verse is said to be from Ezekiel 25:17, but it is not.

The prayer itself is obviously not from Pulp Fiction or the Bible, as it mentions aviators and the call sign "Sandy 1." They call the prayer CSAR 25:17, and Hegseth was correct that that is in reference to Ezekiel 25:17. But it's the movie Ezekiel 25:17, not the actual one.

Back in the W regime, there was that Attorney General who would not only lead prayers, he would sing his own Christian patriotic songs at meetings.
