Redcoats is a term (generic, I would say) which basically means "British Army".
Historically, it dates back to the 1640's and the army led by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War ..... as you can probably see, it's because the tunics/coats were a distinctive red.

Damn, after years the truth became public


lol.. seriously if Pete had his own wikipedia thread he'd have to had lived hundreds of years to be everything we have attributed to him. I alone on these boards have made him three nationalities, a lawyer, over 150years old, an American sympathizer, a Maldives sympathizer, and Jeremy Irons. And I'm not even through yet.

Sisko - this post deserves to be in Pete's "Funniest posting across the boards"...or else he should start a new one for "cleverest posts"!

One add-on - If you type "redcoats" you'll notice spell-check has no problem!?!

Bill Cosby explains why they wore Redcoats here...

Wahoo! The very cool 4th of July Wallpaper is back!

Happy Independence Day!

On a more somber note, its also the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg - - when things weren't so great in the States.
