Hmm, Benedict Arnold was a highly decorated American officer, and also
a war hero.


That's right, and the only difference between him and Kerry was that he

was
tried and convicted of being a traitor, and Kerry hasn't to this day been

tried
for anything.


Arnold was never tried, old fool.

Kerry will be tried in the court of public opinion.

"Arnold is a traitor, and has fled to the British! Whom can we trust now?"
said Washington to his officers a few hours later, while the tears rolled
down his cheeks. He soon recovered from his emotion and sent officers to
intercept Arnold; but it was too late, and the following morning the traitor
was safely landed in the city of New York. He received the price of his
perfidy -- six thousand pounds sterling and a command in the British army.
