Red Coats

[sabreguy]

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one
battle, the French captured an English colonel. They took him to their
headquarters, and the French general began to question him.

Finally, as an afterthought, the French general asked, "Why
do you English officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material
makes you easier targets for us to shoot at?"

In his bland English way, the officer informed the general
that the reason English officers wear red coats is if they are shot the
blood won't show, and the men they are leading won't panic.

And that is why, from that day to this, all French Army
officers wear brown pants
