I don't believe the uniformer will work, as a uniformer generally cuts the depth of the primer pocket to a consistent measurement- the uniformer does all its cutting at the bottom of the primer pocket.
The miltary crimp is applied to the case head around the edges of the primer pocket, the purpose being to insure that the primer cannot come out and tie up a full auto firearm.
What you may be able to use is your case mouth chamfering tool. Once the military case is decapped, use the chamfering tool on the primer pocket to cut a slight bevel at the mouth of the primer pocket (cutting away the metal intruded into the edge of the pocket by the crimp).
If you only have a few primer pocket crimps to remove, the chamfering tool is what I use. If you have a good sized batch of military crimped cases to process, the RCBS primer pocket swager does a good job and is much faster, once you have it set up.
