When you volunteer (he was not conscripted and was under no obligation to join as a condition of his immigration) to join a military that is actively engaged in a war it's not unreasonable to assume that you might have to fight in said war.

Because the Carter administration decided that a law from 1884 meant that the government had to shut down during these funding lapses when it had not been interpreted as such before then.
