Stuck in a rut is right.... Unlike the pope who draws much attention through out the world these men are not known or cared about. Really no need for any body guards.
I might accompany my grandfather someplace to help people from getting ideas when they see an old man all alone or accompany child for similair reasons, Still though It does not qualify me as intimidating or a member of the secret service, or a body guard.
I have never heard of the gb having a body guard. If you are legitamately claiming they have body guards then please provide proof as we would like to see and know about it.
However, It appears to be just wild accusations. Just my opinion...
