They protect fighting troops from pesky technocrats (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
trench coats
'they' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'protect fighting troops from pesky technocrats' is the wordplay.
'technocrats' anagrams to 'TRENCH COATS'.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for trench coats that I've seen is " military gear".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
