So we just spend what is required to defend ourselves, and even though the Swiss might look suspicious we have little fear that someone will actually come and conquer us. We do spend a little on totally useless jet fighters from time to time though.

In general, I probably am an European minority but I'm all for spending more on the military, locally and within Europe. Preferrably as part of an European defense agreement of some sorts. We probably could do that though without sacrificing our social welfare.

On the other hand, you could spend less. You don't really need a space force for example.

That was back when the "side" in question was the Soviet Union.  They are gone now.

Time for you guys to join NATO and carry your fair share! E.G. in Afghanistan.
No need to spend all that extra cash on education, social services and your own infrastructure.
