Well, of course, Johnson's against the war now that there's a Dem in the White House, like Gill opposed it when the POP held the Presidential stool.  I wouldn't make TOO much of the distinction.

Pulling out troops is also not the only way to save lives (although we should support it, too).

In the 15th Illinois Congressional district, the Republican incumbent is to the
Left of his Democratic challenger in regard to killing people in the Middle East.

Tim Johnson votes against money for Obama's wars, while David Gill favors an
American "presence" (i.e., killing people) in Afghanistan, etc.  --CGE
