During a raging battle, French soldiers captured a British officer. One soldier sneered and asked, "Why do you British officers wear red coats? Don't you know it's easier to see you and target you in a gun fight?"
The officer replied, "We wear red coats so that the soldiers we lead will not see blood and lose heart when we are wounded."
The Frenchman thought about this and passed the story on to his commanding officers. They were impressed and saw the logic in what the officer said. And that is why, to this very day, French officers wear brown pants in battle.
