Doug,

Do you consider D. Arnold a traitor? He severed with distinction before
going against his Army Oath.


Do you mean Benedict Arnold?

Heck yes he is a traitor. Among other things, he was commissioned as a
general officer by the British after attempting to hand over West Point
(an important strategic fort at the time). You're right, before that he
served with great distinction... some would say he was the best American
general of the Revolutionary War.


You are incorrect, again. He was never given a command by the
British.

The British provided handsomely for Arnold, but never completely
trusted him. He was never given an important military command. They
moved to London where he found no job, some admiration and even some
contempt. He moved his family to Canada where he reentered the
shipping business. The Tories there disliked him and had no use for
him, and eventually he returned his family to London.

"Arnold was appointed brigadier beneral in the British Army and engaged
Continental forces on a few occasions. One significant battle occurred
on January 5, 1781 when Richmond, Virginia was burned by British naval
forces led by Arnold."

I'm willing to bet that Horvath never apologizes or admits his error.
