      No need to nitpick because you’re comparing apples to oranges, so I’m trying to understand what you even mean by social security and pensions. All the EEA countries provide free or accessible health care and state pensions by the state and/or military. And the reason why you’re statement doesn’t compute for me is because a lot of the “big ones + scandinavia” are conscription countries that provide everything while you’re in service and you would get military pension if you decide to stay in the army professionally after your mandatory time is over.

        The information comes from MilitaryRated on youtobe, a finnish military guy that breaks down army costs. In one of his latest videos, he shows that social security and retirement is baked in the usa military budget, but in the EU budgets it is not.

        And even if you stay in the army, the retirement is paid by the same entity that pays every retirement. In sweden it is like that anyways and I guess france too so I guess most countries doesn’t burden the military budget with that.
