The commander of the Pontifical Swiss Guard says the group of soldiers charged with protecting the Pope is on high alert and ready to act if any threat from ISIS materializes.

“We are ready to intervene. Our job is security. and as gendarmes we are well organized. We are ready if anything happens,” said Cristoph Graf.

At age 54, Graf is married with two children. Yet he and the other members of the Swiss Guard are willing to lay down their lives to protect the Holy Father.

    Wow, it would be bad to die in such silly looking, outdated clothes. I think I might get killed just laughing myself to death if I were to meet one in hand-to-hand combat. It could be like the BLACK KNIGHT Scene in Monty Python.
