Actually, with the UK out the EU might (finally?) turn into a military union at some point. The UK was the main force against going in that direction, in that the UK didn't want their foreign policy done by Brussels. The smaller roadblock that remains will be to convince the Nordic countries that flexing the EU's military muscle is OK for purposes other than strict humanitarian purposes (or France and - to a lesser extent - Southern Europe the other way around).
