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 Major informed the general that the reason >English >officers wear red coats is so that 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 > >until now, all French Army Officers wear brown pants. |
