In order to create one, the vote must be unanimous by the heads of each member state. So it's not like there is going to be a majority overpowering the minority. Any country has the ability to veto the decision, which means if it comes to fruition, they all feel it is a benefit.
But, it is also my understanding that what is really being called for is a structured organization of their militaries, which means it would not be a separate EU military. It would just be a cooperative force.
That is not what has been pushed in the European Parliament by Guy Verhofstadt and the rest. The reason the brits are against it is because they do not want to hand over control of their military to the EU.
Even if it's pushed as a cooperative force then what happens when the Germans decide to use it to further Germany's situation.
The Germans have proven time and again they will allow the rest of the EU suffer to further their ambitions.
