Yet in NATO Danish and Greek soldiers regularly took orders from Belgian Commanders, as did Brits, and NATO high command was and is in Belgium.
But it is all to do with the mission, I suppose. (Though the French withdrawal from NATO for four decades sort of begs another question, and rather agrees with some parts of your comment.)
I reckon the EU could justifiably regard that a Combined European Armed Force had a mission, and maybe might sell such an idea to Greek folk (who probably could do with the job-creation benefits) and even the Danes. A bit of a shame that we are not involved. It is always best to be comrades-in-arms with the French and Germans when they're being the good guys. For a given value of good, of course.
C'est la vie... c'est la guerre... c'est la pomme de terre.
