Well, 3 of them jokingly,(I think), said that if this Govt. cuts defence much more we will need someone elses army for ourselves in any event.
They just feel the World has changed and the stronger the ties the less likely a break or major threat could come as to the defence of Europe and the West particularly.
On the other side of things too,which is a factor as to my stance on this Livia,(I equally respect your view and position on it too from your perspective), I and my Family are extremely pro Europe and the EU, believing in a strong union with same.
So as to defence,for us it seems a likely more logical step to look at and at least explore.
In most matters of conflict or action now we already try to harness European support for that and encourage their involvement in it too, so for me anyway, for one, this would just seem a more progressive cooperative step to take.
It does however seem I and and my Family hold a minority view
as to this according to the small poll result at present.
I have to say to Kyle good question again, however it is always interesting learning others take on things like this.
