 They are the Swiss Guard.
All males in Switzerland have conscripted military service.

Switzerland has the oldest policy of military neutrality in the world it has not participated in a foreign war since its neutrality was established by the Treaty of Paris in 1815.

They do alright 😊

 No but they get a gun to take home when they finish their time in the army.

 Gun is better than funny suit so that's a win
