the netherlands doesn't have a draft bill now does it?
When I turned 18, I got a letter saying I would have gotten drafted if a war would break out while I was still under 30.
Oh that must've been relatively recent then. I'm 32 and don't recall such a letter.
I was among the last to get drafted (I'm 48). After my year they stopped drafting, but they never cancelled the draft bill.
Not too recent, it must have been around 2003.
