Belgium has a defence budget of 1.5% of the GDP now (recently up from 0.9%). But they pulled the budget up to buy F-35's. American airplanes...
I'd rather have them stick to 1% of the GDP and invest more of the budget in the military personal rather in expensive toys.

I would think that in order for a country to have any kind of reliable defense, they'd need a decent balance between personel and equipment, right?
Then again, what use does Belgium have for f-35's?

Used for recon flights above the baltic states/isis.
