Easy to say when your country was neutral throughout the Cold War. Whenever I hear European members of NATO griping about US militarism I'm reminded that they sure were happy to have our nuclear shield against Ivan. And if the proto-EU had had to secure *itself* against the Soviets Europe would not have become the semi-pacifistic hypocritical asshat continent it is.
