Just a random thought about Kegsbreath quoting Pulp Fiction.

I think he uses a lot of AI in his speeches.

So - he searched the Ezekiel scripture, and AI came back with the fictionalized version from Pulp Fiction.

I could be wrong.

But it might explain the nonsensical result.

He doesn't need AI to fuck up like this. He's a fake tough guy who missed the point of that scene in that film -- the character talks about the (fake) quote again later in the film. But Kegsbreath thought it sounds badass, so he copied it.

That would account for the references to the downed aviator, camraderie, Sandy 1, etc., which aren't in either the original Ezekiel or the Pulp Fiction version.

Hegseth prayed the CSAR 25:17 prayer on April 15, 2026, during a monthly Christian prayer and worship service (archived here) hosted by the secretary of defense at the Pentagon. In explaining the prayer, Hegseth referenced a U.S. Air Force F-15 pilot rescued from Iran during a high-risk operation on April 3, 2026. He said:

This prayer was recited by 'Sandy One,' which is one of the Sandies, to all Sandies, all those A-10 crews, prior to all CSAR [Combat Search and Rescue] missions, but especially this CSAR mission that happened in real time. They call it CSAR 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17. So the prayer is CSAR 25:17, and it reads, and pray with me, please...


"Sandy" is the call sign for the aircraft used in CSAR missions.

The fact that he’s referencing Sandy 1 (historical call sign of aircraft performing the CSAR Search and rescue operation) tells me he knows exactly what he was saying.
I’m sure this saying was used for a very long time by the community, and it’s unlikely he coined it with AI for this speech.

Matter of fact, it looks to me like it's being totally ignored.

Like something else was/is.

For now.

by asking specifically for the Ezekiel quote “…from Pulp Fiction” because (a) he thought it was also in the bible and (2) he wanted to see SLJ’s monologue so he could copy the way he said it (but he didn’t do a good job of it).

My own evidence-free conspiracy theory is that someone planted this as revenge. If I'm wrong, I'm still right in saying he deprived himself through either just not having it eyeballed, or by fear of job retention, of having someone say "bruh, that's from Pulp Fiction"
