Manlet spotted at 9 o'clock

>>34889338
Yeh the catholics already done that.

>>34889353
They're trained in restraint and unarmed defense, like a security guard.

After being a guard for three years you can qualify to go on a bodyguard course to get weapon training and authorization to guard the pope in the Vatican and abroad.

>>34889370
Also they have to have been recommended by their CO whilst doing their national service in Switzerland.

being an operator implies that you actually operate

standing post is not operating. it makes you a mall cop.

The more senior ones who do PSD are better, but certainly not "operator"

>>34889353
They are actually trained afaik. Not LARPers.

>>34889574

You ever wonder how britain, with only tiny population ended up:
> Ruling a quarter of the worlds surface
> Quarter of the worlds economy
> Quarter of the worlds population.

The empire only failed when their faith was tested and failed, and lead to their children outgrowing them.

> REMOVE UNPURE, INSTALL DEMOCRACY, ALL TO THE SOLDIERS CATECHISM

>>34889667
Because they hit their industrial revolution first.

>>34889678
God gave them the industrial revolution.

>>34889667
Protestantism is basically an eugenics program.
>Clever boys become pastors
>Pastors make tons of children with their secured income and high social status
Other reasons may apply (including a selection bias for protestantism among more intelligent peoples).
Then again, there's a clear gap between the cuck status of catholic and protestant nations today, so it may be the catholics will have the last laugh after all.

>>34889667
Because white people are cool and driven.

Yeah they didn't do so hot when Rome was sacked in 1527. But let there be no confusion: they look fantastic

It's still there, by and large. Orthodoxy, on the other hand, is literally only practiced by the Mexicans of Europe, and those who had the common sense to leave.

Tell a Ranger batt or MARSOC that someone stole all the chili with beans MREs and hid them in the Pope's stomach and we'll see how operator they are. Shit, just tell some Ghurkas that you'll feed their families for a lifetime if the pope is killed and see what happens.

Caspar Röist, a native of Zurich, went to Rome in 1518 and became commander in 1524.
By around 1522, Ulrich Zwingli reformed Zurich and by 1527 the entire city, all his friends and family had converted to protestantism. His family wrote him letters and said it was ok to come back and that he didn't own the church anything.
He replied that since he got payed he was obliged to do his duty.

Face it, Swiss soldiers where not hired because they where unbeatable or something, they were hired because they were highly loyal and reliable troops, keeping discipline, no mutinies ever, fights to the death if needed be and all for a few coins. Best whores you can get.

im so fucking tired of christian larping on 4chan. most of you guys aren't even religious you just like feeling superior to other people for no reason.

I totally want to show up to a /k/ meet with this uniform on.

>>34893176
>must be abstinent
no such things with catholics, thats what confession is for.
Roman police monitors swiss football matches closely, because every time FC Sion wins something the shitkickers from Valais go on a rampage. Cheap and good Italian wine and food are one of the biggest perks of the guard.

>>34887342
>'aesthetic' uniforms
in 1652 maybe
>have to be catholic
I don't see how that offer's any advantage
>have to be tall
besides 'look at how big we are, we're superior' / slightly faster walk speed, this is basically useless
>God's soldiers
no
they're people who protect the pope, fooling yourself by saying they work for God is just childish

the only point you have is that they
>grew up Switzerland
a country that has an important cultural emphasis on firearm handling, and is a choice spot to pick multilingual candidates
>best weapons money can buy
they do have a fine selection of small arms to choose from

In the end though what makes an operator an operator is his ability to operate and the Swiss guard are fairly skilled, but I don't know how they'd fare against other spec ops groups

>>34893095
Meanwhile protestants literally tear down crosses as to not offend muslims. I'm not saying catholicism is a bastion of hope like the orthodox church, but you'll find that the real excesses of cuckery are always committed by (cultural) protestants.

>>34893214
How can you be sure of such a large assumption?
Additionally he never said anything about being superior.

>>34893282
I'd guess most Christians and Catholics are cucked at this point because the fundies fucked everything up and everyone was angry at them for a decade because of it.

You know Catholics are christians right?

Do they actually have any modern weaponry other than glocks? Any newer rifles? Precision weapons for muh GUARDIAN ANGEL overwatches?
