Ask HN: Is a strong volunteer military incompatible with a strong safety net?
Could this be why countries with strong volunteer militaries are often reluctant to adopt comprehensive welfare systems?
- asmodeuslucifer 1y agoSounds like you are begging the question. Are there any such countries? Volunteer militaries (militias) went out of fashion in the USA after the war of 1812. Am I not understanding what you are asking?
