At least according to some sources, the draft board recruiting is just strange timing. Board members are supposed to serve a term of 20 years (really?) and those recruited when things were reorganized under Reagan are just have their terms expiring.

I wonder if it would take an act of Congress to reactive the draft which wasn't eliminated, merely made inactive (18 year olds are still required to register for instance). An attempt at bringing it back would be amusing. Who ever brought it up would never hear the end of it.
