Comment on The Times (of London) "Italy's Foreign Minister says post-Lisbon EU needs a European Army "

Impossible one soldier can't possibly do all the work. Why the ceremonial duties in so many places call for an army of at least 30 or 40. So take that you reactionary Doubting Thomses!

Wait, I see you must mean an army that is single. Well as Islamist polygamy spreads something will have to be done with the spare single men. Of course they do tend to work for the other side but the Human Rights people have an answer. They'll all be encouraged to marry each other. That should make everyone peaceful and happy. What could possibly go wrong?

This is a joke because the purpose is not to build a powerful unified military that will serve the interests of the nations of Europe. The purpose is to defang the nations and centralize authority as far from local interests, passions, and voters, as possible.

They do want to demilitarize Europe and leave it with nothing but a harmless PC show army.
