having a swiss guards was quite popular among kings a few centuries ago.

Swiss were famed as the best soldiers/mercenaries of Europe before they got btfo by us, it was when they were at their peak that the Pope chose them.

Germans have always been the strong arm of the papacy, that's why the reformation was so dangerous, no more kraut shock troops to send on crusade

wtf I love swiss guards now

you just jealous cause american military traditions go back only like 150 years.
