One could certainly infer his statement to mean that civilians should not enlist, and servicemembers shouldn't reenlist. He clearly disapproves of military service for anyone right now, which suggests to me that he would disagree with anyone who felt that going in or staying in was the right thing to do.

I'm going to go for the 'Understatement of the Night Award' and say that this is not a typical point of view for a former Marine.
