A long time ago, during one of the many wars between Britain and France,
the French captured an English Major. Taking him to their headquarters,
the French General began to question him.
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 quiet 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.
This little-known historic fact clearly explains why, from that day
until now, all French Army Officers wear brown pants.
