Best Answer

The only remnants of the military of the Vatican are the Swiss Guards who act as body guards for the pope. In earlier years when the Vatican was part of the much larger Papal States, the vatican did have a sizable army. It is highly unlikely anyone would invade the Vatican these days and, if they did, there are many nations that would rise up to protect it.
