4. He says he got it from "Sandy One" (Combat Search and Rescue)

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.
