are the finnish speaking trees counted as reserve?

Finland should increase professional army. They have numbers lesser than Portugal and only potential enemy of Portugal is Atlantic Ocean.
What do they call “paramilitary” in this? For as far as I know, there is no paramilitary organisation in France.
Who are the 28 Paramilitary guys in Finland?
Those 28 finnish paramilitary personnel must be the deadliest fighting force out there or why else keep them 🤷♂️
That’s a huge army reserve Portugal has, could anyone explain why that is? The rest of the countries in the per 1000 (total) I can understand, but Portugal stands out.
Finland doesn’t have a large population. How they have a lot of military personnels
The power of conscription: smallest active, second largest total.
As an Italian I can confirm that no one cares about our army lol
I thought National Guard in the US was considered paramilitary.. 🤔
I bet Italy is a killer in the Paralympics.

You may ask again “Why Turkey is in NATO?”
Source from [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_NATO). Actual primary sources seems to be the military balance of IISS, a reputable thinktank, though in this paramilitary seems a bit too broad (the reason why some countries are this high up).
How does Portugal have more military units than Britain ?
What list is this? When I look it up on Wikipedia Germany ranks above the UK with 233.550 military personnel.
Those numbers are not right. And that board is also inaccurated.
Natural born white deaths. I’m so happy Finland is part of NATO now.
Whats the definition of paramilitary? As there are a few in the UK and a private army in Scotland.
I’m in this picture and I like it. Finland’s wartime strength is 300k. Remaining 600k is a reserve for the reserves.
Finland ready for winter war rematch even if its just the two of them again
No wonder Putin wanted NATO out of Ukraine lol.
Holy shit Finland got the secret attack
This is what citizen soldiership looks like. From a Finnish reservist perspective it seems weird to think being a soldier is a job. Sure, a fine choice of profession if you want to dedicate your life to it, but relying on professionals to defend your country seems curious, and frankly… Off. No, if the entire country and people are under threat, it is everyone’s duty to rise up to defend.
Most countries’ circumstances are of course different. Most don’t have a realistic existential threat next door. Finland does. Always has, and for the foreseeable future, will have.
Lmao yeah the USA, famously free of paramilitary groups
Clearly these numbers are counted in different ways. Finland includes everyone who went through conscription. In that case Germany would be at more than 10 million reservists
Thanks for showing us only 9 countries, without Iceland & Luxembourg.
In **some** NATO countries…
The graph shows only military personel counts. If it includes other statistics, USA and Turkey would be much further.
Not to puxar a brasa à minha sardinha but those 27k from Portugal are enough to kick everyone’s ass!
If you can’t beat em, join em
You forgot to add the Padeira of Aljubarrota to Portugals army…
It counts as at least 7 Spanish troops
I want to know who the 28 Finns in a paramilitary formation are, and what their might is capable of.
Wonder what the national guard in America counts as if the guards of Europe count as paramilitary?
Estonia has 230k reserve and 7200 active personnel, should be placed between Portugal and UK.
The Finnish Reserves structure is very interesting.
The Clans are strong!
Finland just joined NATO and is already worth their weight in gold.
Nato aka American Foreign Legion
The Greek reserves are a couple of millions.
Greeks just go to the army and stay as reserves until their 60s.
That means that all male population are effectively reserves.
If things ever go reallyyy bad, the US also has tens of millions of firearm owning young men lol
1/5 of the population is reserve military personels. Old Soviet habbits i guess lol.
If you counted the «militias» in the US as paramilitary, nato would have three times the manpower
Portugal’s numbers can only be a joke 😂
Takeaway: when a Finn tells you he’s gonna come back with his boys, run.
Jesus christ. So i guess we should all be counting ourselves lucky that greece is not the size of the US.😂

This is a bit misleading as Reserve is counted aswell. [Here](https://www.statista.com/statistics/584286/number-of-military-personnel-in-nato-countries/)’s active military personell.
Wait, it [changed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_NATO#Military_personnel)
