There’s nothing “wrong with it”. But it’s impractical and will never happen in the manner it’s being portrayed.
NATO as an organization is in direct conflict with a standing EU army replacing individual nations.
Not to mention, there are EU nations not in NATO and vice versa. Way too big of a mess. Besides, zero of the countries in the EU are giving up their new F-35’s or their aircraft carriers to the European Council.
Every nation in Europe with a relevant military force already recieves mutual defense via NATO, except Switzerland, Austria, and Sweden.
