WHY THE ENGLISH WORE RED COATS

WHY THE ENGLISH WORE RED COATS -

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 Pakistani Army officers wear
brown pants.
