I'm pretty sure they are Swiss, you can actually see the pope peeking from the window in the background.

Anyways, whats your opinion on the Swiss?

They were mercenaries, mainly used by the Pope, in the renaissance.

Sick fucking pali, though.

I admit, they resemble them closely, but they got different rifles and no knee high boots. I guess it is a copy cat thing, like the Swiss set the standard and everybody wants to be like them.
Really interesting pic, thanks.

Swiss Guard are trained soldiers with modern equipment. They couldn't invade a country or anything, but they could sure fuck up a would-be assassin.
