The Socks That The Secretary Of State Wore To Meet The North Koreans Will Make Your Jaw Drop
5:20 PM 06/01/2018
Benny Johnson | Reporter At Large

America’s top diplomat, Mike Pompeo, held historic meetings with North Korean diplomats in New York this week. And he wore green Army men socks while doing it.

Pompeo met top North Korean officials in the city Thursday to lay the groundwork for a meeting between President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, scheduled to take place in Singapore on June 12th. At the table was North Korea’s former military intelligence chief Kim Yong Chol and his team. Pompeo tweeted the photo with the caption, “Good progress today during our meetings with Kim Yong Chol and his team. #NorthKorea and the world would benefit greatly from the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”




A quick search on Amazon retrieves almost identical socks to the ones the secretary of state wore — black with green Army men holding pistols, rifles and bazookas. They are called “Socksmith Men’s Army Men” and cost an even $10.00.

Heck he has to be the first Sec of State that would even consider wearing such militaristic socks let alone in such a meeting.

They’re the mullet of shoes: business on top, casual on the bottom. At least they’re not Sketchers rockers.

They look like basic plastic-form molded shoes from payless or Walmart. Prolly around $15.99 to $20, somewhere around there. The socks are cute, I guess. I wouldn't know. My socks come in two colors only. Black or White.

I don't wear tee-shirts with writing (REDNECK: don't mean I ain't not stupid). And I don't wear gay socks with weird colors.

   Real Men in Texas don't wear socks unless it's a Wedding or a Funeral (same thing), Tillerson would have wore this:

The shoes actually look like standard ones from a dept store.  Cushioned for people who walk or stand a lot.    Bout 150 bucks

Let me guess, you don't have a set of these, either, @240B...

Reminds me of something I saw at Ft. Gordon. Some cocky Drill Instructor Sgt. [35yrs old] got into an argument with a recruit about who could do the most push ups. The recruit was 19, young dumb and full of ... testosterone. Once the count got past 100 the Sgt. started doing girl push ups. He was bucking back and forth like worm, like a fresh caught fish on the bank. Funny stuff. Everyone was yelling at him, Hey! That's not a real push-up!

He jumped up and called formation, and then took us on a 5 mile run. We still don't know...who won...haha... yeah, sure we don't.

What will really make your jaw drop is the fact that Pompeo is actually the person to the right in the picture.

Fortunately, that’s only about 1.5 laps around Barton Field.

No. That's too easy. We went up and down every hill in that whole State. Ended it all at the carwash.

A five mile run has no meaning in the Army. It doesn't mean that you are going to run 5 miles. It only means that you are going on a long, long, run. The distance is only determined by the number of guys who drop out. A five mile run can go on all day long. At least it seemed that way.

The instructors always got to do their PT up on the stand, while we were down on the ground with the fire ants. Lots of fun.

I was in 25B classes for a while. That is why I was in Gordon for a few months. Signal Corps, that's what I did.
