(January 14, 1741 – June 14, 1801) was a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He is best known for betraying the United States forces and plotting to surrender the American fort at West Point to the British during the American Revolution. He is perhaps the most famous traitor in the history of the United States.
Benedict was a rather interesting person….huh? I'm not sure how many people are interested in history but I always found this person to be someone of notice. |

I'm big on history, and looking shit up. I've heard his name, but really don't know much about him.

I know all about him. he spawned many 'Benedict arnold' jokes about people who throw others under the bus quickly.
He was an ass, but I still like him better than his brother, Tom. |

| One of our greatest generals we've ever had. Also one of the biggest doormats the US ever had. He turned his back because Washington kept abusing him and didn't treat him worth a shit. |

I'm not big on history, but i do know what I learned in school, and outside. I have a really good memory, and it helps, since I'm an idiot.
