"The Swiss see the sad situation of the Church of God, Mother of Christianity, and realize how grave and dangerous it is that any tyrant, avid for wealth, can assault with impunity, the common Mother of Christianity," declared Huldrych Zwingli, a Swiss Catholic who later became a Protestant reformer.
(From wikipedia. The article Swiss Guard has a wealth of news.)
The Swiss Guards are voluntaries for at least two years. And being Swiss adult s, they are fully aware of what they do.
Ridicoulos in the same way as the horse-guards or the beefeaters if ridicoulos is the word,but its good for tourism, they all bring million in tourist-bucks to the Vatican or Buckinham Palace, and probably are even a trade-mark item such as the mounties RCMP, important ..women think they are sexy so
costmes are so cool,im just glad some of them actually have guns on them,i dont think so theres no way someone can be wearing a kevlar vest and be yelling out orders,
Jeez, what a job. What an enviable job. I have to wonder, do these young kids wear kevlar vests under their antique armor? Are the helmets kevlar w/ silver plating them?
i really dont think so, its a really ceremonial thing, but after the assination attempt in 1980 smthin, they had to step up their training in unarmed and small arms. they do have pistols and assualt rifles at their disposal , the same used by the swiss army.

I really do pity those Swiss Militia for having to wear those ridiculous uniforms - not to mention having to be Catholic! Urgh!
