(1) reauthorizing Public Law 107-243, with or without amendment, as appropriate; and

I guess since no one has been able to tack on a bunch of unnescessary spending to it, and it isn't opened like the other one he voted against, they don't like it.
The sheep believe that he is refusing to pay for bringing the troops home, or whatever the point you were trying to make, nothing is further from the truth, all you have to do is look.
