What immediate implications does the internal Dutch Defense document on reinstating mandatory military service have for Dutch society?

A nine-page internal Dutch Defense document, "Praatstuk Verkenning Opkomstplicht," details the logistical requirements for reactivating mandatory military service, suspended since 1997. The document suggests immediate reactivation if neighboring countries do so, achievable within two weeks via Royal Decree barring parliamentary objections. This contrasts with Defense Ministry statements denying any such plans.
