It sounds to me like our Veterans may have to go back on active duty one last time, bc there seems to be one more enemy to deal with, and we need "all hands on deck". The pledge, "Against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC" is a literal and direct promise, but what's different now is, the threat is coming from inside the house!
