Turns out this was the real plan behind Brexit /s. The thing about a military is you may turn it against someone else after it is prepared, the reason you gave for militarization does not need to match the final purpose.
I find it somewhat ironic how the economies of Europe are so intertwined to prevent war (the official reason), but their core military organization is handled on a strictly national(ist) level.
