It's not threatening them to re-enlist. They're saying go ahead and get out but before you do we have to deploy you.
Yes we do have a morale problem because our military is too small today. We're bottom heavy, i.e. too many E-1 to E-4, because they're only TRYING to get one full enlistment out of new recruits (too many people getting kicked out for drugs, failing to meet physical standards, or just generally being fuckups). And that's without trying to fight an unpopular war. So before they let a good crop of hard to come by VOLUNTEERS go by the wayside, they need to get all the service out of them they can before their tour is up.
