why the english wore red coats?

[Salman USMAN]

*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, taking a cue from that custom , all Pakistani Army officers wear brown pants.
