St. Ignatius Loyola was in the military when he was wounded in a campaign. His recover was very long, and he was confined to bed for much of that time. His entire training was military and he founded the Society of Jesus along the same principles. The Jesuits, in addition to the regular vows of poverty, chastity and obedience take a special fourth vow of immediate and unquestioning obedience to the Holy Father, thus making them the Pope's "shock troops," if you will.
