Red Coats...

[SuiteDisney]

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.

The wouldn't happen to have been the American Revolution where the French were helping us here in Ameica fight the British for our independence would it?
1778 February. France signs a treaty of alliance with the United States and the American Revolution becomes a world war.

What color pants do our ground troops wear?

Sadly, war is not funny.

What color pants do our ground troops wear?

It's not too far from the color our troops were wearing in 1917, when our debt from 1778 was marked PAID IN FULL. Now, as to the French debt of 1944.......

Who said I was angry at France? I'm not angry at any country and I'm not taking part in any boycotts either. I was merely responding to the fact that some people (such as yourself) seem to think that we still owe France something for the Revolution. We have more than paid them back for that. Next time you want to single me out, please make sure you know where I am coming from. Thanks in advance.
