I believe Benedict Arnold was an American hero who just made a really bad decision. He was pushed by his Tory wife Peggy Shippen and his ridiculous temper. I'm not making excuses for him but I don't think he deserves the reputation he has. He nearly died fighting for America before the whole treasonous plot. Dark Eagle is a really good book if you want to know Benedict's full story and the things that led up to him betraying America.
Arnold your the shining example of what an asshole history can sometimes be, you'll never be forgotten and hated by both sides becuase no one trusts a traitor. You screw up in life people mock you for all eternity.
@noumenon55 As much as I would like to say it was intentional to spell it that way, it wasn't. Just a mistake. Although, to some people, they might agree with that. ;)
I believe that Benedict Arnold is a warning to us all: How our own arrogance, pride, and greed can lead us down the road to ruin. We must let go of our grudge, and learn from his arrogance.
Benedict Arnold, while he DID in fact betray America, was without a doubt one of the greatest American generals. Indeed, he may well have been the greatest had he not betrayed America. I think we need to let go of the grudge. Congress, and the other generals, drove him to it, even if it was dishonorable.
I think people should stop bashing on Arnold. Sure he did have some pride issues, but people bashed on him too much. Everyone took his credit at the time for the victory at Saratoga. Congress in desperate need of money, suddenly framed Arnold so they could get money from him even though he spent all his money on the war. I honestly think he made some bad descisons. What would any of you have done in his situation?
no, I just do a lot of my own research on Benedict Arnold because he's such a fascinating historic figure

Benedick Arnold came back to life, traveled close to 300 years into the future, and created a YouTube account just to dislike this video.

Interesting how Benedict Arnold looks almost like his voice actor - well, at least when he was younger.

@aswolf I've seen versions of the modern American flag show up in other episodes too. They also messed the Union Jack.
