Unfortunately, military spending does not increase military efficient or power for many of the small European countries. Why should a country pay more for its defense than it has to? So Boeing/Raytheon/etc can sell them more useless jets and tanks that they probably don't even need?

Perhaps that's the point. Having them pay out of pocket for their own share will make them look more critically at what they are spending the money on. Then they will stop paying so much to the Military industrial complex.. Win win?
