A single army made up of forces from different countries is a terrible idea that will only fail eventually. Each country should be building there own defense force - allies can work together after this has happened. These allies will never be a static situation, which is as it should be. No one country will ever be content to continually follow the bidding of another - forcing them together to ensure this is a recipe for disaster. The EU itself is coming apart - how in the hell does anyone expect a unified army to succeed?
ETA: The more that I think about it, the more I hope they try this asinine concept. The ensuing arguments over sharing of military resources, leadership control, fiscal responsibilities, etc alone will be enough to drive people away from the Globalist fantasy in droves.

I would rather Israel be a part of NATO than the amount of money and technology we subsidize them with.

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.
