could you have possibly mispronounced any more proper nouns? it's not NEW haven. or wooooooster. it's wuster. yet you got kennebec right???

oh, by the way, check out walter isaacson's biography. amazing read. i always had a special hate for him - my great uncle held the same post he did at the start of the war - as the commanding officer of the 1st Co. CT Governor's Foot Guard. after reading the book, i can't say i wouldn't have done the same thing.

Sadly its a lesson too few have learned.

Very interesting story. Never knew what happened to give this Name the meaning it has.

As far as I understand it, the story about him putting his old uniform is apocryphal. In the last days of his life, he was unable to speak, so he could not have asked for the uniform even if he wanted to.

Arnold's sons went on to become officers in the British Army and Arnold himself sent a letter to George Washington explaining and justifying his treason. He didn't see himself as a traitor, but as a loyal British citizen. He ignored the fact that his loyalty to the Crown was bought for money.

One is left to wonder what the post-War years would have brought for him if he had not turned traitor. He might now have been regarded as America's greatest soldier, instead of as the embodiment of treachery.

Hats off to Biography for covering such a complex fragment of our history so well in less than three quarters of a single hour. Things tend to get so twisted and messed up in war, it's unfortunate, all the same regardless of the man's great contributions, I can't bring myself to forgive the traitor.

I thought they were going to mention Bob Brady. Remember when he snitched on people at school and people kept calling him Benedict Arnold?

i'm stupid.
