Part 8/9:
As the EU faces the ongoing need for robust defense capabilities, the question of a unified army remains a salient point of discussion. While practical considerations and political will converge, the path towards a formidable European military force appears to require a blend of grassroots support, strategic alliances, and a focus on integrating existing resources for greater efficiency.

The call for Europe to embark on a trajectory toward self-reliance is resonating, and engagement at all levels—public, political, and military—will be vital in determining the future of European defense.
