[If he saved him from hell...the place he sees no exit from, aside for this...initiative. And that's not really an exit as much as a...reprieve. He stirs up trouble, he knows he does. And one move too many, and he'll end up right back there. Or win that war, and again he'll end up right back there. On that rack, day after day, forever. No angel perching on his shoulder to save him and honestly, if one tried he'd probably just kill it so no hard feelings there.
Where Dean looks relieved, John just looks like he wants it all to end right here right now, like he's given up, like a broken man.]
