If true, that's glorious.

Okay, well my initial source was the telegraph, I'm not british but I hear that's an ill reputable source, and now I see why.

I did my own research and while it is close, it's not exactly true:

2007 public spending on childcare is a little over 1% of Sweden's GDP.
http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/45/27/37864512.pdf

2005 Government spending on military is 1.5%
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/sw.html

It's possible that the gap has closed in recent years, but I'm not sure I buy the claim that they spend more. I don't know, could be. Here's the original source.
> Imagine a country where the state spends more on preschool child care than on its defence budget.

e.html

In fairness, it was written by a woman, so I should've known better.

This >>4398896 guy again. It (is)/(almost is) true of Denmark though.

1.3% of GDP is defense
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/da.html

1.30%~1.35% of GDP is child care
http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/45/27/37864512.pdf

And just for kicks and giggles:

United States

4.06% of GDP is military
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/us.html

0.37~0.39% of GDP is child care
