First paragraph: We can choose to take on and add similar laws to our own government from outside the EU, including HR and tax loopholes, without having to worry about getting suckered in to things like the EU army (the latter of which is the reason why members of the armed forces overwhelmingly voted to leave.)

Second paragraph: Bit disegenuous to throw a "you voted leave because XYZ" at me when I specifically posted my reason for voting leave in the post you're replying to...

> worry about getting suckered in to things like the EU army

There is a veto right in the EU on everything defense related, nobody is getting suckered into anything.* I know that, you know that, why do you perpetuate the lie?

*Except for the UK military into the Iraq war because their so-called "representatives" didn't and don't represent them. But that's another story.

The "EU army" has been rather oversold, but why do people object to it when they don't object to NATO? Is this rooted in the actual structure of the EU army or is it based on what people read in the Brexit press?
