What other military equipment that we ship to the EU would not be used
for EU defense? If military equipment is sold to the EU as both military
and commercial product all that equipment is considered non-exempt from
weee and rohs.

The WEEE Directive specifically excludes equipment connected with EU 
Member state security including arms and munitions. It does not exclude 
ALL "military" equipment per se however - only products which are
specifically 
intended for military purposes. 

Now... the RoHS Directive contains no such exemption, however, it has
been 
assumed that the scope of RoHS=scope of WEEE unless otherwise indicated.

So yes, there is no requirement for lead-free in military equipment for
the EU.
