EU army

[Kagemusha]

So British troops could be made to go to war despite the fact that the people of Britain are completely opposed to the war in question?
Would this be a qualified majority vote or would it need to be a unanimous vote? Either way you are going to get problems.
With majority voting, only slightly more than half of the population of Europe would need to be in favour of military action, yet the army of every member state would have to commit. With unanimous voting, the disaproval of, for example, Malta could stall the war machine of all Europe.

There's one place democracy does not belong and that's in the armed forces. Questions, due process, debates, fair play, discussions, votes get people killed.

You are right.It wont work with Democratic decision making.I think every country should decide itself whether or not get involved in certain conflicts.For lets say a local conflict that would need to be adressed European countries wouldnt even need to use that much force.Only operation that would accuire total mobilization ,would be to defend Europe itself.
