Let me out, the lunatics are definitely running the asylum.

Conversely, I would think the Remain camp could use that as a reason to stay in order to Veto any move where the EU Commission could make a botch up of the Defence of Europe. There are 28 EU members and 28 NATO members. If the EU member countries left NATO that would just leave the UK, Canada and the USA in NATO.
I've just had a look to see who are members of NATO and was surprised to see France is back in the fold as I know they left in 1967 to take control of their own defence, which was when NATO moved its HQ from Paris to the Netherlands. I reckon France has persuaded Mrs Merkel that the EU should have an integral defence force.
On the subject of France, I was speaking to a neighbour whose son lives in a French village which has recently had a refugee camp built alongside it to house some 4,000 souls. Apparently the villagrs are up in arms that it was built there but also up in arms about the manner in which their daughters and other women folk are treated by some elements of the male refugees.
