But it speaks volumes -- that the sitting US Sec'y. of Defense (or US "Dept. of War", as he claims!), labels this a "war for Jesus, a Godly war" -- and then purports to quote from the Old Testament Book of Ezekiel, as he offers a "warrior's prayer". But Ezekiel says no such thing. Nothing even remotely close appears in either Testament. [Trust me -- I've checked.] Only a tiny bit of one sentence of the purple text at right appears anywhere in Ezekiel.
In fact, it seems clear that Hegseth is UNAWARE that Tarantino intentionally "fictionalized" Ezekiel, to make it all the more harrowing, as a career criminal and hit man's. . . monologue -- as he murders his hapless victims -- in cold blood.
The point Tarantino was making was that Sam L. (in the movie) is a very. . . bad man. Sam does want to "be better" -- and so he is. . . trying to leave his violent ways behind. He knows he should. He knows that is what his mother would want, for him.
Old Pete utterly misses all of this -- and jumps headfirst, into the irony -- of quoting movie lines, about the evil of men -- as "God's prayer", for his supposed US soldiers.
DAMNATION. If you've by chance not seen it, here is the story about yesterday's prayers, at a breakfast -- by old Pete.
This is. madness, incarnate. Out.
