So many people that don't follow Christ and think Trump is a Russian agent, are angry that someone they detest, didn't quote the Bible right, even though thought the speaker wasn't quoting the Bible, and use a snippet from a Russian news network that gives you no other context?
Just another day in the World and Internet.
Anyone that critiques Trump or his admin doesn't follow Christ and thinks Trump is a Russian agent? Is that what we are going with?

I guess I'm missing the "mockery" here.
Naturally, this Turkish psyop account, and the Russian state media outlet it's quoting, omit the part where Sec. Hegseth explicitly acknowledges the reference is a riff on Ezekiel 25:17.

If you'll notice, the "passage" he quotes is CSAR 25:17 and not Ezekiel 25:17.
The prayer, which is an obvious rip on the Pulp Fiction quote (which is also an obvious rip on a quote from the Japanese martial arts movie Bodyguard Kiba) wasn't made by Hegseth. It was made by one of the CSAR rescue teams before the Iranian rescue mission. It's clearly a parody and is something well in line that you'd expect from servicemen.
Should Hegseth be using it in a prayer meeting/sermon? Probably not. But it's not like he doesn't know what it is.
I think you give him way too much credit. Just sayin.
Uhhh….nobody thinks you're more intelligent than him. Nobody.
I love Hegseth, but this is a bad look.
Even really smart Mo-Fos make mistakes. This one is kinda innocuous, but embarrassing. Not a big deal at all, he just needs to fire his speechwriter for letting AI find him/her a "prayer" to fit his speech without doing some fact checking.

How is it a psyop?
It is still a misquoted Bible verse from Pulp Fiction that was reappropriated by CSAR guys.
It is still dumb that a person of Hegseth's stature unironically used this in a prayer.

Watching liberals try to 'fact-check' a CSAR parody is like watching someone try to explain a joke to a brick wall. They're so desperate for a 'gotcha' moment that they've accidentally wandered into a Bible study. Next, they'll be shocked to learn that the 'Book of Armaments' from Monty Python isn't actually in the Old Testament either.

So………..we've stooped so low, the only comeback has been "you should see how bad the other side is."
Here's an idea.
We elect non octogenarians, without some form of mental illness, who can hire a competent and professional cabinet and staff.
No hires who are completely out of their depth. No hires that make political statements at the expense of competency (and that was directed at both Biden & Trump).
Maybe then we can stop with the "your side is worse than my side" BS.

I was just pointing out the irony of the saying "and pray with me" before reciting a "scripture" that borrows from the monologue a hitman uses to commit murder at a worship service at the Pentagon. It was just a little disorienting, my apologies. Washington is a confusing place, has been for the better part of a decade. Historically religious looking figures look like Red Cross doctors, Catholic politicians saying the pope is "soft on crime", deciding we no longer need international allies, etc

You can word a prayer any way you want with whatever you want.
The point of Russian post, which liberals on this thread fell for, was that Hegseth thought the pulp fiction verse was word for word from the bible
