The song blaring was a Michael Jackson classic called โ€˜They Donโ€™t Care About Usโ€˜, a very powerful and controversial piece. If you donโ€™t live under a rock you know Michael Jackson as the King Of Pop.

Heโ€™s created countless award-winning songs along with dance moves that will go down in history.

Besides some members having awesome hidden talents, The Swiss military is especially known for its international neutrality. Theyโ€™ve quite literally โ€˜stuck to their gunsโ€™ and refused to take any sides. Because of that, they havenโ€™t been apart of armed combat in over 500 years.

Itโ€™s no surprise that during their downtime they let loose a bit.
