On Wednesday — while conducting one of his now routine diatribes at the Pentagon — “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth paraphrased a verse he apparently believed to be from the Old Testament:
“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak 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 poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.”
Except that is *not* a verse from the Bible.
Rather, it is a monologue delivered by the character Jules, played by the esteemed actor Samuel L. Jackson, during a pivotal scene in the Academy Award-winning 1994 film Pulp Fiction. The lines were completely made-up by the writer and director of the film, Quentin Tarantino.
Hegseth quoting a ruthless hit man from a famously violent movie as if it were scripture is equal parts absurd and alarming.
The United States military is the deadliest force humankind has ever known. It should be run by someone who recognizes the immense power they wield — a serious, sober person who is not motivated by bravado, vengeance, and bloodlust.
Join Public Citizen in a message to Pete Hegseth:
Over and over and over again, you have demonstrated beyond all doubt that you are not fit to run the most powerful military in the history of human civilization. For the sake of national security, those who serve in the military, the American people, and everyone on Earth, you should resign. But if you don’t have the self-awareness or fortitude to do that, at the very least perhaps consider learning to differentiate movie dialogue from actual scripture.
