They tried in numerous ways to modernize the military law, or even to abolish the army altogether. In the long 1970s the Dutch military experienced unprecedented criticism from within. This was considered to have resulted in a deterioration in the force’s preparedness and reliability. Strong measures and protection from media attention were necessary to save the army from decline. Obstruction by the government and the public prosecutor prevented the military from doing this, and isolated it in its attempt to combat disaffected soldiers and anti-militarists., UL https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/TVGESCH2012.3.BOOT
