I don't think a single army out there is embarrassing. The fact that someone decided to put their lives up to protect their nation on a daily basis says a lot and shouldn't be disrespected like this.

there is nothing embarrassing in defending ones country. no matter how small, ill-equipped the army is, the determination to defend a nation is more than honorable! respect to all armies in the world.

I find it really interesting that the Luxembourg Army made your list. I was in the 92nd and 529th MP Companies in the 80's. The 529th was in Grafenwöhr, which is really close to the Czech border. You actually show the cross pistols and 529th banner during the Luxemboug part. When at the 92nd in Baumholder we trained with the Gendarme and other Luxembourg soldiers. They were serious professionals and hardcore soldiers. I went to French Commando school and as a Private First Class I took 3rd place in my 4 week course. 2nd place was a female Gendarme from Luxembourg. First place was a 45 year old pilot from Switzerland. I am still not sure I would want to fight either one of them. He'd have to be in his 80's now. I'm not sure I could take him. As for her, I am sure she would still kick my butt.

Respect to all armies and all men and women defending their country out there.
There is no need to humiliate anyone.

You obviously didn't research the Swiss guard. The armour is ceremonial only, they are highly highly trained and are a serious force to reckon with

[jollyrain]

No army can ever be embarrassing they are the protectors who deserve all the love they can get

[hardway]

Embarrassment? Even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time. Never underestimate your enemy. You’d be surprised

[trogunxm]

No army is embarrassing. The fact that someone is willing to take up arms and defend their land, people, and heritage with their life, is truly admirable.

Imagine being an elite highly trained Swiss Guard belonging to a tradition that spans hundred of years and seeing this video.

The 2019 population of The Vatican was 825; the Swiss Guard is 135 strong which means the Pope has the world’s largest per capita army.

The Vatican "army" is actually a highly trained and skilled force. And if yo check the basement at the end of the hall they have some really high tech kit.

[SpeedsoftSpades]

If we're being honest here, no military is "embarrassing" to call a military embarrasing based off of what you see on the news or based off of the policies of the country or even based on how outdated their tech may seem is just plain "embarrassing." The only thing to be ashamed of here that I see is comparing the militaries of third-world countries to that of the nation with some of the best tech available, with amazing research teams that make new innovations in military tech at a decent speed.

Please don't take this video as fact.

[deananderson]

The Vatican army is well trained Swiss soldiers. The uniform is ceremonial but they do have hidden pockets to hold modern arms.

[pranavrajesh]

In the army, the word embarrassment doesn't even exist. They are just out there protecting their nation.

[hmdrake]

The worst thing you can do in a fight is to underestimate your opponent and their ability to fight.

[cabbagetv]

In the gulf war, 1/4 of all american deaths were friendly fire from their own troops, now thats embarassing ! and tragic ! r.i.p. brave soldiers

[Hutao]

Did this man just said Chinese people are not disciple? Bruh I get whipped by the shoe if I don’t get an A

[Leftdead-]

Nothing embarrassing about these armies. Whoever named this video is an embarrassment to themselves for a total lack of understanding about anything to do with the military, no matter how small an army one may have.

[jeyarajshankar]

@The Finest have been known to come out with some pretty great videos, but this particular one is not only embarrassing, it is downright rude. You don't go calling another sovereign nation's military "embarrassing". Call them small, but they are definitely not embarrassing. Shame on you!
