Ahhhhh…..socks.

Seems unimportant, but it’s not.

I am glad the SGM had a sock inspection.

Young Soldiers, and civilians, have no idea of the importance of socks to a Soldier.

Walk through swamps for 30 days and find out how important they are.

The problem is that too many leaders focus only on the little things and neglect the big things.

Exactly - COTTON socks? They should be berated.

Wool - high percentage merino wool, and accept no substitutes.

Maybe the type of sock is important to avoid rotting the feet with constant sweat, etc.

The color of sock is NOT important, especially in active war, etc.
