I also remind you of what I said before about this: talking != doing.
So if I said in 1995 that they wanted a single currency, I'm tinfoiling?

I would imagine it would be voluntary, just like the currency. That's not the point. It shows that the EU is not just about economics.

Who would command the army? Germany and/or France, probably.

Yeah we had this conversation before, but I'm still not quite sure where you think the UK fits into it. Would we be required to provide troops to the EU Imperial Army that hasn't actually been formed yet?
We refused to get involved with their currency, so I would expect us to refuse to get involved with their army. But this isn't the point. I'm not concerned about that. I'm concerned about the EU becoming a superstate, rather than an economic bloc. If the EU was pure economics, I would have voted to remain. I do actually see the benefit of being economically integrated with our neighbours, but not at any cost.

I'm a little more concerned with concrete things that are actually happening than some vague ideas politicians float around
Macron and Merkel would love you.
