If the EU and U.S went to war it would be a stalemate in the seas. The USN is the largest and most powerful navy on the world which would hold off any attack against the U.S mainland, while on the other hand the combined fleets of the E.U would be able to hold it's own in the seas around the European continent.
If the war did come to ground conflict, the U.S has lost. The E.U with Britain's Commonwealth support would be destroyed by superior numbers alone. And a lot of the European 'minor' nations are extremely well trained to make up for their numbers. You combine the Danes, Norweigens, British, Dutch, Austrian armed forces you've got a lot of highly trained soldiers at hand.
I don't know if any of our U.S veterans have served alongside anyone from these countries, but the general understanding is that those nations have extremely high standards in training.
Denmark especially is extremely well-trained and the individual soldier is extremely well-equipped. The only problem they have is the small size.
