Eu Referendum: Ex-Army Chief Lord Guthrie Switches To Leave
//Field Marshal Lord Guthrie said he had changed his mind because he was concerned at moves to create a European army, which he said would be a "disaster". The former defence chief said that while he felt "more European than I do American" it was "absolutely unrealistic to think we are all going to work together".
"When things get really serious, we need the Americans. That's where the power is. //

Food for thought for those who think a European army is never going to happen?

No reasonable individual will have too much trust in the promises of governments. They change direction with the wind.

I have no doubt that a European Army will happen. But the UK will not join.
22 EU countries are already in a joint army, it is called NATO.
The Reason the EU constantly fails to secure its own external borders, is because individual coumtries are tasked with the job, and they are not up with it. A co-ordinated pan Europe effort could not do any worse.
The Former Field Marshall says we should stick with the Americans. There is no reason we cannot fight alongside the EU and the Americans. The Americans have dragged us into Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. There might be instances where Americas interest is different from ours. The US invaded Grenada, sovereign British territory, not too long ago. Likewise, our NATO partner Turkey might have different priorities than Europe, and Europe needs to have an alternative to that.
Isn't there a term for someone who switches sides mid-battle?

Oh God. History repeats itself. Certain Europeans aligned themselves to German military divisions and they were'nt Wermacht either. They even courted pro German muslims so they have no shortage of recruits now to join their new Bundeswhere. Wot was that about the EU taking the rest of us by stealth ??
