Once a captain on his ship was disturbed by his assistant telling him,
"Sir! Sir! There are 5 enemy ships on the horizon."

The captain tells the man," Get my red coat and prepare for battle!"

The assistant runs without question to get the captains red coat and
prepares for battle. After their victory the assistant asks the
captain why he wanted his red coat.

The captain tells the assistant "If I was shot you would not be able
to tell I'm bleeding and you would keep fighting."

The assistant thought this was a great idea. The next day the
assistant came to the captain, "Sir! Sir! There are twenty enemy ships
on the horizon!"

The captain was stunned. He looked at the assistant and told him "Get
me my brown pants!"
 
Don't get it :/

Groan. A slightly better telling of it:

On the eve of the Battle of Yorktown, an English officer asked his butler for his Coat. The butler, not very bright, asked him why the coat was red. The officer replied, "My good man, it is so that if we are shot, the soldiers cannot see our blood spill."

Which is why, to this day, French officers wear brown trousers.
