the London bombings that it has raised its terror alert level from Run to Hide.
The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate.
The rise in the alert level was precipitated by a recent fire which
destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.

A little piece of war apparel history.
During the American revolution, Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, explained to the brave men of his militia that the enemy would be wearing red coats. The Kings advisors had figured that the wearing red coats would help mask wounds and blood from the men wearing them. When hit, the blood would be absorbed by the red fabric and the british soldiers wouldn't freak out the sight of their own blood and would keep fighting.
The French adapted a similar strategy for their soldiers. THEY WEAR BROWN PANTS

I actually think we all got the point.  I did.

It's just our warped sense of humor.
