All that said, should a spending increase ever become needed within the European militaries, the European governments face a very hard uphill climb in getting their people mentally ready. IMO, I don't think the average European has the spine to see their social benefits decrease in exchange for military spending.

It's going to be hard without a clear reason that's visible to everyone. With that reason it's not going to be hard.
