a missed bullet

Because I wouldn't want my son put in harm’s way at the behest of another nation of which I feel absolutely no affinity for?

Do you mean Scotland?

Okay it's clear - everyone here is still living in 1945.

When will we ever move forward. Brexit will probably turn out better for Europe in the long run.

Even if you feel European most people sign up to fight for King and country, the draw for many is to serve their country, I am not sure how many soldiers want to die for some other country they have no knowledge or affinity with and that goes for all countries not just the UK

[original PM]

and how long before all vessel states of glorious German Union must send all second born sons for military duty

the problem with an EU army would be either

1) It would never do anything because all member states would need a say in what it was going to do
2) It becomes another German army

there could be no in-between!
