Secretary of War Pete Hegseth led a Pentagon prayer service with an adapted version of a fictitious Bible verse made famous by Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction". The prayer was recited before the Sandy 1 rescue of a downed pilot in Iran and was seen as a reference to the famous scene where Jackson's character Jules Winnfield delivers the verse before opening fire on a group of men who had betrayed his boss. The real scripture reads, "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother."
