> > 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

> is why from
> > that day to now all French Army officers wear brown pants.
