Exactly, thats why a European army just won't work. Each country has its own defence agenda and foreign policy so if a European army was set up the countries involved would spend so much time arguing about whether or not to send the army into a conflict that it would all be over by the time they were done.
I hope the French do see some action, as it will give them a chance to use their traditional battle cry:
"We surrender! Here -- have my daughter!"
