You might wind up as a Marine! I actually went the US Army enlistment route in '72. In retrospect, it was probably the best decision of my life. Watched the evacuation of Saigon on AFRTS in my barracks in Germany. Not a dry eye in the place, a lot of the guys had served there and lost buddies. A surprising number thought that we should go back and kick some ass. What is worse? You might wind up as a Marine!

It's really more akin to a doctor saying "If you'd gotten a check-up sooner, we would have had more options on how to treat this disease". Is THAT "demanding protection money"?
