Red Coats

[Tequila Sunrise]

A long time ago, Britain and France were at war.
During one battle,The French captured an English
major. Taking the major 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 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 to now all French
Army officers wear brown pants

do I sense an anti-French sentiment somewhere. . .

I don't have anything against the french and this has nothing to do with thier views on iraq, however they have NEVER won a war on their own.
