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?

Sounds 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?
