    “The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men,” Hegseth prayed.

    "Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost 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 capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee, and amen.”

    It’s already bad enough that they have sermons in government buildings, but then it’s with this kind of content?

      And he basically replaced the parts that were supposed to be god referring to godself, with himself referring to himself.

      He’s trying to elevate himself to the position of god, in very cringy fashion.

      Overall, just very delusional and megalomaniacal, in addition to blasphemous…

        Apparently he was reading a prayer related to the mission to extract the downed F15 pilots… No idea how any of this makes sense.

        Hegseth mentioned he was told the prayer is titled “CSAR 2517,” which stands for “Combat Search And Rescue” and alludes to the fact that it borrows some wording from Ezekiel 25:17

        Source for that is here

          Perfect, why the heck not, just remix the Bible however you feel. He already picks and chooses what parts to follow or ignore, so he may as well just change the text to fit his whims.

          This is the dumbest timeline

              That assigns too much agency to the LLM. They can’t be conscious. They’re only useful for producing langauge which appears intelligent.

              The LLM companies will make the LLMs say anything to not go bankrupt, though.
