As a Swiss man myself who served in the Swiss army, I'm feeling honored by your kind and solid video about the Swiss Guard. To this day, most of us are very proud of our guys down in Rome. Switzerland may be small, but we have pride and dignity... And some freaking mad lads armed to the teeth in clown costumes.
Presidente, can you shed more light on why the pay is so low for the Swiss Guard? Is it so only true devouts join? If only 19-30 are allowed, do they retire at 30 with a shitty pension? (consequence of the low salary) or do they move on to other security jobs?
Isn't it ironic for a British calling swiss guard uniforms outdated and "clownish", while Buckingham royal guards have 2 meters high dust magnet caps, ride horses in full medieval armor and guard a grandpa wearing hybrid of judge's manto and christmas tree decoration with palpatins tunic
I actually have a friend in a Swiss guard. They indeed are highly professional and well trained soldiers. I've been to their ammunition warehouse, saw their private tailor, and had a chance to see their training... they are truly a fantastic bunch of pope's guardians.
@@highcountrydelatite nice copy pasta. These guys fit the definition of soldiers so they're soldiers. The same as a duck is a duck. Soldiers don't need combat experience or special forces training to be soldiers. I doubt you're either a soldier or special forces. Usually the loudest guy in the bar Is the liar
@@highcountrydelatite Did you spend too much time being an idiot or worse in war zones or did you only become this after your tour of duty?

Years ago we took my five year old daughter to the Louvre. She kept going up to paintings saying “that’s a Leonardo, that’s a Donatello”. Everybody was looking at her as if she was some kind of prodigy. I kept saying, “ It’s turtles”.

So this British bloke really calling the uniform of the Swiss Guard a "clown outfit"? While his country's soldiers dress with a silly, black bush-looking helmet? Okay.
I recently found out that the reason renaissance mercenaries dressed in pieced-together bits of wildly clashing colors was advertising. Every time they prevailed in battle, they took a bit of their opponent's livery or flag to sew into their clothing to put their victory on display for the next guy who might hire them. The more motley the mercenary, the more deadly.
Men were fashion peacocks back in the sixteenth century. Everyone dressed like that. Soldiers and 'gentlemen' carried swords, and duels were quite commonplace. It would have unwise to call them clowns in pyjamas.
Don’t let their clownish uniforms fool you. These guys are real Swiss soldiers. And yes, they do conceal automatics and gadgets like pepper spray underneath their uniforms
I like the uniforms. Yes, I'm a sucker for tradition. As you and Thoughty have pointed out, the colorful garb is mainly ceremonial and these guys are tough, serious soldiers who do a lot of their work dressed quite conventionally, and who can give you a very bad day if you mess with them. My question is why is their pay so low? I mean, given the cost of living these days, their salary is rather tiny. What don't I know? Do they also draw a Swiss government salary? That assumes that it is the Vatican that pays their base salary.
@@kennyj43cost of living doesn't matter here cause their costs of living ie food housing and basic amenities are covered along with the salary. So it's basically money for them to spend/save/invest
@@pratheekbhat6595 I wonder if they took the regular Swiss army pay, subtracted the value of the room & board, etc. and decided that the 1300 EUs make up the difference.
I'd say that Swiss neutrality is a testament to its ability to defend itself.... Nobody has wanted to bother climbing that mountain for the consequences it brings with it.
the Swiss neutrality is actually based on our country's history of exporting soldiers. the leaders of the early Swiss communities swore unto each other to ... never fight each other and never swear fealty to or get into an alliance with one of the powers surrounding them (Habsburg, France, whoever) which might endanger the others... but to let each of them export their young men as mercenaries to the highest bidder. Which created literally centuries of a flourishing business. It was only by the middle of the 19th century that we stopped exporting our sons as cannon fodder (except for the Vatican) and just kept exporting weapons. to whomever payed the most. Unless they are actively at war because then we couldn't sell weapons to their enemy at the same time.That's the Swiss neutrality.

Then the 189 In the service of heaven They're protecting the holy line It was 1527 Gave their lives on the steps to heaven Thy will be done! For the grace, for the might of our lord For the home of the holy For the faith, for the way of the sword Gave their lives so boldly
Thank you for doing video about my Church’s mini Army for my Pope, I appreciate the respect you showed, we get enough disrespect and hate that seeing a video about us that is respectful as well as truthful is just amazing, can not thank you enough thought2. May the Lord Bless you (even if you may or may not believe) and show mercy upon you just for doing such at small thing for His Church : )
Right! I am Swiss... and an officer (retired) in our army... and I have a few friends who served in the Pope's Swiss guard... and despite being an atheist, I have the outmost respect for them! A man's true value are beyond even faith!
@@st-ex8506 for sure! And hey if you dont mind me asking. It seems you are respectable and having conversation with Catholic like me wont bother you. So i want to ask, what if I could help your journey on finding whether there is a God or not?
@@TheJuddly I went from the child of a deeply faithful reformed family to being an atheist, through years of experience, thinking and meditation... and that was not without some painful moments. But that is a personal choice. I do not wish to impose it upon anyone... not even my (now adult) children... but would, in a mirror image, resent my well-considered choice being questioned. Thank you anyway for your consideration.
Pope's earthly dominions were not always that small. Perugians' bid for independence from Papal rule in 1859 was put down in a bloody massacre. Upon Italy's unification troops had to be sent to protect the Swiss guard from vengeful Perugians.
I only wished you, sir was a national reporter. Trustworthy and obviously does perfect research. I would hang on every word! Thanks for your awesome videos.
I used to work security many years ago. During my time working there the pope came to the resort for some ceremony. He had his guards along with secret service and deputies from the county. The popes guards were pretty cool, and had their outfits for the ceremony but otherwise looked like normal police officers
The stand of the Swiss Guard against Charles V's forces reminds me of "The Last Stand of the 300", the famous Spartan engagement. Also, the global perception that Switzerland is a bit of a "softie" could also apply to today's Scandinavian countries, such as Sweden, Denmark & Norway. These countries are seen as peaceful, progressive & civilized. But they, as well as Switzerland, are sitting smugly in the knowledge that they produce some of the most fearsome warriors the world has ever seen - the Vikings. People like that KNOW they don't have to prove a THING. As Pres. Teddy Roosevelt said, "Walk softly & carry a big stick.". I'm sure His Holiness appreciates his OWN "Secret Service".
I live in switzerland and never heard someone say "we don't have to proof ourselves, we already did hundreds of years ago." and it would be kinda weird to do so.
You literally say "the last stand" and you don't make a sabaton reference. Weak. Oh also, really? Hundreds of years ago is not today. I guess Americans can be smug in the knowledge that we were cowboys once.
Softie ? I agree when it comes to the scandinavian countries, but when was switzerland ever considered a "softie" ? Are you an american who mistakes sweden with switzerland ? Switzerland was never considered soft, quite the opposite. The fact that all the european countries bend their knees and do what brussel tells them, while switzerland did go its own way right from the get go as it always did, says it all.
@@MeanApollo In many anglo countries, Switzerland has the reputation of "absolute neutrality" because of a supposed fear of war. That's not exactly true- and as you know Sweden has actually gone longer without being in war, but that's the stereotype and why some might consider the Swiss to be "softies". Then there's the opposite stereotype of "gun toting money laundering libertarians" which has become more popular recently. In fact the idea of the "offshore swiss bank account" is some mythical, untouchable, extralegal "shady business practice" which the "based swiss" allow because they're not weak, but drawn absolutely to the dollar. So yeah, while the stereotype of the Swiss being softies might be wrong, it does exist and has for a while.
“Strange, clown” outfits?….not at all. It reflects their history and tradition much like what the Pope and the Catholic Church is known for. It’s as unique and historical as the kilts of the Scottish highland regiments, the Beefeater guards at the Tower of London, or the white skirts and stockings of the Greek Evzones presidential guards in Athens. Their Renaissance-style colorful outfits, helmets and traditional weapons are for ceremonial purposes but they have completed the required Swiss army training. In their papal protection duties, they wear suits and carry modern firearms (pistols and sub-machine guns) similar to those of the Swiss army. So, beneath that colorful costume is a well-trained professional soldier who takes pride in the privilege of being a member of this historical military unit.
At 6:09, a guard is shown in a square that is supposed to be in Vatican City; truthfully, the square is actually located in Turin and goes by the name of Piazza Carlina. A small mistake that hurts many Italians like me who are proud of our identity.
Honestly, it must’ve been terrifying to see soldiers dressed up like that. Imagine, hundreds of years ago the biggest man made construction you’ve ever seen was a farm house, maybe a local church. But, you bring your newborn to the Vatican. It’s the first one to survive out of 5/6, so you must do all you can to get it blessed and protected. You see a structure that’s closer to the size of a mountain, than any man made thing. You see stain glass windows, and paintings for the first time. Some of the paintings even look alive. You’re wearing what you have. You never thought to make it look pretty, or add color. It just needed to work. Not a single person you’ve ever seen wore the same thing either. And then you see men, in matching outfits with bright colors. Colors that you only see in flowers and some vegetation. But that color quickly fades. And these men are guarding that structure, that is too grand for mere humans to have made. So scary isn’t the right word. Maybe intimidating.
Great vid, as always. :) The marked building at around 10:41 is not Castel Sant'Angelo, it's Saint Peter's. The picture was shot by someone standing on the Castel. This is what it actually looks like: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castel_Sant%27Angelo#/media/File:Chateau-saint-ange-tibre.jpg It's a unique building that has seen some stuff.
That “No one is more ‘VI’ than the Pope” joke was truly the most brilliant, and daddiest of all dad jokes I’ve ever heard haha 😂 (Though technically, wouldn’t Francis be a X-VI-P?? 😉 lol)
@@MrReubenTishkoff Well, thank you, I learned from the greatest. But coming from me, they’re really just ‘uncle jokes’ lol. But I appreciate the compliment just as well haha 🙏🏼

Mercenary outfits of the age also favored bright colors because they were easier to see on confused battlefields. Gunpowder weapons were starting to be used, and produced huge amounts of smoke, making knowing friend from foe even more difficult, which probably helped with the retention of the colorful uniforms through the centuries. And England's own red coat uniform would be adopted within the 16th century, give or take.

I was JUST about to mention this! For anyone wondering, this is The Last Stand by the band Sabaton. I have seen the song performed live twice, it was EPIC
The most amazin part about the story of the swiss guard is that theyve only lost 65 of their original 200 over the course of five centuries of conflict.

when I was in high school way, way back in the 90s my dream is to be a member of the Swiss Guard, problem is I'm not a Swiss citizen, I was a Filipino back then and I was inspired by them when Pope John Paul II visited the Philippines and he was accompanied by some Swiss Guard (in dark modern suits of course).

This was most interesting! I knew nothing of the Vaticans guard. I was at the Vatican, and I think our tour group missed that ! I love your channel and I think this was my favorite topic yet! Keep up the good work!!
One thing not mentioned. A number of the Swiss Guards who died defending Pope Clement VII are buried within the Vatican, in the Teutonic Cemetery. And I believe there is some kind of remembrance ceremony there every May 6th.
I have never enjoyed history as much as the way you present it. Your book on the history of England “Stick a flag in it” left me in stitches and was very difficult to put down despite reading it twice. There is not a single one of your videos that I have ever missed.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
They guard the rituals they do so the little boys can’t escape. They know what the pope and the others are doing in those catacombs. It’s been a while since the Vatican had a pope that actually worshipped God in it. I remember seeing a creepy video on another website of him reading a speech with a mysterious little girl next to him. The video did analysis saying that child was Satan in disguise.
The swiss guard are so hyped up but the only extra training they have after regular Swiss army basic training is a 176 hour course in hand to hand combat and a firearms refresher. They are about on the level of a regular army infantryman in other countries, not even SEAL, SAS, Spetnaz level
Hey Thoughty2, I love your videos! I've been watching them for years and I want to suggest a video for you. Have you ever heard about the blind prophet Vanga? Her predictions are estimated to be around 80% accurate. She lived relatively soon and predicted huge events like 9 11, and currently, her future predictions are quite popular. I really want to see what video you can make.
...Or you know, shoot you with a gun. Halberds are great if you charge them with an horse but like any other weapon popular in the 1500s they haven't aged very well. The style of the 1500s landsknechts were rather unique and the Swizz guard is frozen in time in looks but they are better trained then marines even if their clothes might look silly. Their ceremonial parades is just a part of their duty. Switzerland also have the second highest number of guns per people after US.
@@loke6664 Dude, when you're facing 40 ambidextrous succubae with flaming pikes in their hands, you'd better be pretty darn certain that the naginata you pull out wasn't forged out of PVR cans by a guy named Jingo in Moose Jaw, Canada...
@@penultimateh766 Wait, why does ambidexterity factions in when they are wielding 2 handed weapons? And when facing 40 anything you are in big trouble even if they wield butter knives. I trained with swords, I can take out 2 opponents with worse training then me. Possibly 2 but that require that they are pretty bad. Someone good can probably take out 5 opponents but anything above that require a plate armor and opponents who doesn't know how to take out someone wearing plate. So I don't really see how your example make sense. Halberd was a great weapon in the early 1500s when firearms still were relatively rare, expensive and unreliable while the plate armor technology was at it's top. An experienced soldier can pretty easily dismount anyone with a halberd and it can double as a spear even if it does that a bit worse since it weights more and can't be thrown. Once the flintlock and wheellock became a thing they became obsolete just like the plate armor.
The marked building is not Castel Sant’Angelo, is Saint Peter’s Basilica, the castle is on the other side of the Passetto di Borgo. The vídeo is very well done!

True. Sincerely Echoed. Top notch stuff! 👌
Did you by chance see what the responses to your post were? I can’t help but find it humorous. And I agree; always great content

I completely agree!
"Michaelangelo's renaissance rival and fellow Ninja Turtle, Raphael"
Idk why that line makes me laugh 😂🤣
Years ago we took my five year old daughter to the Louvre. She kept going up to paintings saying “that’s a Leonardo, that’s a Donatello”. Everybody was looking at her as if she was some kind of prodigy. I kept saying, “ It’s turtles”.

So this British bloke really calling the uniform of the Swiss Guard a "clown outfit"? While his country's soldiers dress with a silly, black bush-looking helmet? Okay.
What a moana.
@@obediahpolkinghorniii564 huh?
When Thoughty2 said he has had a few people close to him that have started to lose their hair.
That person was me.
I'm also a balding friend of Thought2
Ha ha I know the feeling
@@indianinja420 That bastard is taking everyone's hair. Unsubscribing.
I recently found out that the reason renaissance mercenaries dressed in pieced-together bits of wildly clashing colors was advertising. Every time they prevailed in battle, they took a bit of their opponent's livery or flag to sew into their clothing to put their victory on display for the next guy who might hire them. The more motley the mercenary, the more deadly.
That actually makes sense💯🤞👍
Men were fashion peacocks back in the sixteenth century. Everyone dressed like that. Soldiers and 'gentlemen' carried swords, and duels were quite commonplace. It would have unwise to call them clowns in pyjamas.
Don’t let their clownish uniforms fool you. These guys are real Swiss soldiers. And yes, they do conceal automatics and gadgets like pepper spray underneath their uniforms
I like the uniforms. Yes, I'm a sucker for tradition. As you and Thoughty have pointed out, the colorful garb is mainly ceremonial and these guys are tough, serious soldiers who do a lot of their work dressed quite conventionally, and who can give you a very bad day if you mess with them. My question is why is their pay so low? I mean, given the cost of living these days, their salary is rather tiny. What don't I know? Do they also draw a Swiss government salary? That assumes that it is the Vatican that pays their base salary.
@@kennyj43cost of living doesn't matter here cause their costs of living ie food housing and basic amenities are covered along with the salary. So it's basically money for them to spend/save/invest
@@pratheekbhat6595 I wonder if they took the regular Swiss army pay, subtracted the value of the room & board, etc. and decided that the 1300 EUs make up the difference.

I'd say that Swiss neutrality is a testament to its ability to defend itself.... Nobody has wanted to bother climbing that mountain for the consequences it brings with it.
Just to get shot by a clown.
@@highcountrydelatite Apart from the richest gold reserve in Europe, I think.
@@highcountrydelatite I wasn't talking about mines. I was talking about banks.
the Swiss neutrality is actually based on our country's history of exporting soldiers. the leaders of the early Swiss communities swore unto each other to ... never fight each other and never swear fealty to or get into an alliance with one of the powers surrounding them (Habsburg, France, whoever) which might endanger the others... but to let each of them export their young men as mercenaries to the highest bidder. Which created literally centuries of a flourishing business. It was only by the middle of the 19th century that we stopped exporting our sons as cannon fodder (except for the Vatican) and just kept exporting weapons. to whomever payed the most. Unless they are actively at war because then we couldn't sell weapons to their enemy at the same time.That's the Swiss neutrality.

Thank you for doing video about my Church’s mini Army for my Pope, I appreciate the respect you showed, we get enough disrespect and hate that seeing a video about us that is respectful as well as truthful is just amazing, can not thank you enough thought2. May the Lord Bless you (even if you may or may not believe) and show mercy upon you just for doing such at small thing for His Church : )
Right! I am Swiss... and an officer (retired) in our army... and I have a few friends who served in the Pope's Swiss guard... and despite being an atheist, I have the outmost respect for them! A man's true value are beyond even faith!
@@st-ex8506 for sure! And hey if you dont mind me asking. It seems you are respectable and having conversation with Catholic like me wont bother you. So i want to ask, what if I could help your journey on finding whether there is a God or not?
@@TheJuddly I went from the child of a deeply faithful reformed family to being an atheist, through years of experience, thinking and meditation... and that was not without some painful moments. But that is a personal choice. I do not wish to impose it upon anyone... not even my (now adult) children... but would, in a mirror image, resent my well-considered choice being questioned.
Thank you anyway for your consideration.
@@st-ex8506 not a problem friend, I understand
@TheJuddly who do you think you are?
The band Sabaton wrote a song about the Swiss guards last stand. very catch and it tells the whole story of what happened in 1527.

I think the song is called winged hussars
@@j-j1210 no that one is the siege of Vienna, where they charged in and saved it from the Ottomens. The swiss guard stand is called The Last Stand :)
Pope's earthly dominions were not always that small. Perugians' bid for independence from Papal rule in 1859 was put down in a bloody massacre. Upon Italy's unification troops had to be sent to protect the Swiss guard from vengeful Perugians.
Man this channel is a real treasure
I only wished you, sir was a national reporter. Trustworthy and obviously does perfect research. I would hang on every word! Thanks for your awesome videos.
Agreed!
Top glazing
Sabaton made a great song about the sack of Rome called "The Last Stand".
I used to work security many years ago. During my time working there the pope came to the resort for some ceremony. He had his guards along with secret service and deputies from the county. The popes guards were pretty cool, and had their outfits for the ceremony but otherwise looked like normal police officers
The stand of the Swiss Guard against Charles V's forces reminds me of "The Last Stand of the 300", the famous Spartan engagement. Also, the global perception that Switzerland is a bit of a "softie" could also apply to today's Scandinavian countries, such as Sweden, Denmark & Norway. These countries are seen as peaceful, progressive & civilized. But they, as well as Switzerland, are sitting smugly in the knowledge that they produce some of the most fearsome warriors the world has ever seen - the Vikings. People like that KNOW they don't have to prove a THING. As Pres. Teddy Roosevelt said, "Walk softly & carry a big stick.". I'm sure His Holiness appreciates his OWN "Secret Service".
I live in switzerland and never heard someone say "we don't have to proof ourselves, we already did hundreds of years ago." and it would be kinda weird to do so.
Damn they produce Vikings in 2022? That's crazy.
_idiot_
You literally say "the last stand" and you don't make a sabaton reference. Weak.
Oh also, really? Hundreds of years ago is not today. I guess Americans can be smug in the knowledge that we were cowboys once.
Softie ?
I agree when it comes to the scandinavian countries, but when was switzerland ever considered a "softie" ?
Are you an american who mistakes sweden with switzerland ?
Switzerland was never considered soft, quite the opposite.
The fact that all the european countries bend their knees and do what brussel tells them, while switzerland did go its own way right from the get go as it always did, says it all.
@@MeanApollo In many anglo countries, Switzerland has the reputation of "absolute neutrality" because of a supposed fear of war. That's not exactly true- and as you know Sweden has actually gone longer without being in war, but that's the stereotype and why some might consider the Swiss to be "softies".
Then there's the opposite stereotype of "gun toting money laundering libertarians" which has become more popular recently. In fact the idea of the "offshore swiss bank account" is some mythical, untouchable, extralegal "shady business practice" which the "based swiss" allow because they're not weak, but drawn absolutely to the dollar.
So yeah, while the stereotype of the Swiss being softies might be wrong, it does exist and has for a while.
My favorite part was definitely the "42" part. Such an amazing reference to your fans. Thank you for that 👍
“Strange, clown” outfits?….not at all. It reflects their history and tradition much like what the Pope and the Catholic Church is known for. It’s as unique and historical as the kilts of the Scottish highland regiments, the Beefeater guards at the Tower of London, or the white skirts and stockings of the Greek Evzones presidential guards in Athens. Their Renaissance-style colorful outfits, helmets and traditional weapons are for ceremonial purposes but they have completed the required Swiss army training. In their papal protection duties, they wear suits and carry modern firearms (pistols and sub-machine guns) similar to those of the Swiss army. So, beneath that colorful costume is a well-trained professional soldier who takes pride in the privilege of being a member of this historical military unit.
At 6:09, a guard is shown in a square that is supposed to be in Vatican City; truthfully, the square is actually located in Turin and goes by the name of Piazza Carlina. A small mistake that hurts many Italians like me who are proud of our identity.
Honestly, it must’ve been terrifying to see soldiers dressed up like that.
Imagine, hundreds of years ago the biggest man made construction you’ve ever seen was a farm house, maybe a local church.
But, you bring your newborn to the Vatican. It’s the first one to survive out of 5/6, so you must do all you can to get it blessed and protected.
You see a structure that’s closer to the size of a mountain, than any man made thing. You see stain glass windows, and paintings for the first time. Some of the paintings even look alive.
You’re wearing what you have. You never thought to make it look pretty, or add color. It just needed to work.
Not a single person you’ve ever seen wore the same thing either.
And then you see men, in matching outfits with bright colors. Colors that you only see in flowers and some vegetation. But that color quickly fades.
And these men are guarding that structure, that is too grand for mere humans to have made.
So scary isn’t the right word. Maybe intimidating.
Great vid, as always. :) The marked building at around 10:41 is not Castel Sant'Angelo, it's Saint Peter's. The picture was shot by someone standing on the Castel. This is what it actually looks like: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castel_Sant%27Angelo#/media/File:Chateau-saint-ange-tibre.jpg It's a unique building that has seen some stuff.
That “No one is more ‘VI’ than the Pope” joke was truly the most brilliant, and daddiest of all dad jokes I’ve ever heard haha 😂
(Though technically, wouldn’t Francis be a X-VI-P?? 😉 lol)
I laughed hard at both jokes. The Dadness is strong with you!
@@MrReubenTishkoff Well, thank you, I learned from the greatest.

That line, a 5 yr old on acid! Absolutely killed me lmao!
Mercenary outfits of the age also favored bright colors because they were easier to see on confused battlefields. Gunpowder weapons were starting to be used, and produced huge amounts of smoke, making knowing friend from foe even more difficult, which probably helped with the retention of the colorful uniforms through the centuries. And England's own red coat uniform would be adopted within the 16th century, give or take.
Holy crap! I literally mentioned the Swiss Guard to a friend just hours ago, and then I seen you have uploaded this. The stars have aligned!

I was JUST about to mention this! For anyone wondering, this is The Last Stand by the band Sabaton. I have seen the song performed live twice, it was EPIC
How rude. I think those uniforms are great. A lot of history in them.
10:37 that's Peters Basilica, the Castle of Sant'Angelo is the other way 😅
Came here to say exactly this!
I love how native speakers of the English language just can’t be arsed to at least try pronouncing words in different languages correctly.
Its not outlandish. They haven’t changed the uniform. Its very old school.
This was good! First Thoughty2 video I've watched. I like the humor (or humour as you guys call it).
Can we take a second and admire the amount of work our buddy is puting in. Research alone must take ages and he's slamming a video every week.
Your sarcasm is outta this world broo 😂😂
The most amazin part about the story of the swiss guard is that theyve only lost 65 of their original 200 over the course of five centuries of conflict.
'42', ... ; ......,
I just want to say I love your videos , you are a very talented young man, and handsome too!
You and I are cut from the same cloth, as we both are a sponge for knowledge!

Was literally searching for a Sabaton comment. 👍
when I was in high school way, way back in the 90s my dream is to be a member of the Swiss Guard, problem is I'm not a Swiss citizen, I was a Filipino back then and I was inspired by them when Pope John Paul II visited the Philippines and he was accompanied by some Swiss Guard (in dark modern suits of course).
I wouldn't say the Strongest, but I'd definitely say the BEST. They're VERY good at what they do.

One thing not mentioned. A number of the Swiss Guards who died defending Pope Clement VII are buried within the Vatican, in the Teutonic Cemetery. And I believe there is some kind of remembrance ceremony there every May 6th.
I have never enjoyed history as much as the way you present it. Your book on the history of England “Stick a flag in it” left me in stitches and was very difficult to put down despite reading it twice. There is not a single one of your videos that I have ever missed.
Do not Disrespect the Swiss Guard
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
The stock footage in your videos always makes them so unsettling but honestly I kind of like it
Great content as always 👏 I'm always bringing up your channel on my stream
€1300 a month to be in one of the most elite militaries in the world? What's that old saying?... Oh yeah. Sod that for a game of soldiers! 😂

"They're the guard of the holy see

Nah they protect pedos
They guard the rituals they do so the little boys can’t escape. They know what the pope and the others are doing in those catacombs. It’s been a while since the Vatican had a pope that actually worshipped God in it. I remember seeing a creepy video on another website of him reading a speech with a mysterious little girl next to him. The video did analysis saying that child was Satan in disguise.
To be honest I really like their uniforms. They are very unique and beautiful. 🤩
You choose the best topics for your videos. Love it🤗✨

Why do you keep changing the title and picture shortly after you upload? Sometimes multiple times?
We need to see a video on that.

Nice video! One thing, the building you're pointing to at 10.42 is not Castel Sant Angelo, but the St. Peter's Basilica.
Sabaton - Last Stand
Since the catholic church is known to be a quiet conservative institution the 500 years old uniforms fit perfect into corporate identity.
"one standard issue penis"
what if it isn't standard issue? I mean, if it is exceptionally large or small, does that mean you're out?
The swiss guard are so hyped up but the only extra training they have after regular Swiss army basic training is a 176 hour course in hand to hand combat and a firearms refresher.
They are about on the level of a regular army infantryman in other countries, not even SEAL, SAS, Spetnaz level
Hey Thoughty2, I love your videos! I've been watching them for years and I want to suggest a video for you. Have you ever heard about the blind prophet Vanga? Her predictions are estimated to be around 80% accurate. She lived relatively soon and predicted huge events like 9 11, and currently, her future predictions are quite popular. I really want to see what video you can make.
Didn’t the Swiss guard hold out against the Nazis until they were wiped out to the last man as well?
While all you people are busy mocking their uniforms, these soldiers are carving you into sushi with their halberds.
...Or you know, shoot you with a gun. Halberds are great if you charge them with an horse but like any other weapon popular in the 1500s they haven't aged very well.
The style of the 1500s landsknechts were rather unique and the Swizz guard is frozen in time in looks but they are better trained then marines even if their clothes might look silly.
Their ceremonial parades is just a part of their duty. Switzerland also have the second highest number of guns per people after US.
@@loke6664 Dude, when you're facing 40 ambidextrous succubae with flaming pikes in their hands, you'd better be pretty darn certain that the naginata you pull out wasn't forged out of PVR cans by a guy named Jingo in Moose Jaw, Canada...
@@penultimateh766 Wait, why does ambidexterity factions in when they are wielding 2 handed weapons?
And when facing 40 anything you are in big trouble even if they wield butter knives.
I trained with swords, I can take out 2 opponents with worse training then me. Possibly 2 but that require that they are pretty bad.
Someone good can probably take out 5 opponents but anything above that require a plate armor and opponents who doesn't know how to take out someone wearing plate.
So I don't really see how your example make sense.
Halberd was a great weapon in the early 1500s when firearms still were relatively rare, expensive and unreliable while the plate armor technology was at it's top. An experienced soldier can pretty easily dismount anyone with a halberd and it can double as a spear even if it does that a bit worse since it weights more and can't be thrown.
Once the flintlock and wheellock became a thing they became obsolete just like the plate armor.
Love from south wales mate, I've been watching for years!
I just love the fact that the Catholics loved the Halo theme so long ago.

The marked building is not Castel Sant’Angelo, is Saint Peter’s Basilica, the castle is on the other side of the Passetto di Borgo. The vídeo is very well done!
