But think of Pope's Swiss Guard they were Christian and Swiss were considered to make the best soldiers. You seem to attribute loyalty and better warrior abilities to pagans more so to Christians. I think it is just nature of the military guards that at times they becomes to corrupt to perform their function. Like the Praetorian Guard of Rome or Janissaries of the Ottomans.
