John Glenn, first American in orbit, has returned to the heavens...

[Frederick]

He doesn't understand how to google.
Despite Benedict Arnold's successes, he was passed over for promotion by the Continental Congress, while other officers claimed credit for some of his accomplishments.[3] Adversaries in military and political circles brought charges of corruption or other malfeasance, but most often he was acquitted in formal inquiries. Congress investigated his accounts and found that he was indebted to Congress after having spent much of his own money on the war effort. Arnold was frustrated and bitter at this, as well as with the alliance with France and the failure of Congress to accept Britain's 1778 proposal to grant full self-governance in the colonies. He decided to change sides and opened secret negotiations with the British. In July 1780, he was awarded command of West Point. Arnold's scheme was to surrender the fort to the British, but it was exposed when American forces captured British Major John André carrying papers which revealed the plot. Upon learning of André's capture, Arnold fled down the Hudson River to the British sloop-of-war Vulture, narrowly avoiding capture by the forces of George Washington, who had been alerted to the plot.

He was a traitor because he got passed up for promotion.
Simple as that.

Passed up for promotion, had his honour taken from him by other officers, and went bankrupt spending his own money on the war effort.

It was all ********.

In any case, John Glenn was a democrat that voted to force his constituents to put gun locks on their guns at all times in violation of the second and fourth amendments. He was a democrat and supported Barack Obama and his healthcare plan that kills thousands of Americans every year.

Nothing, What's wrong with not liking John Glenn?

So you explain why you don’t like John Glenn by way of rationalizing Arnold’s treason ... and you want to question why I asked WTF is wrong with you?

You really can't connect the dots here? You are either a troll or you are developmentally challenged.

I don't see what's wrong with rationalizing his treason. There certainly were legitimate grievances. Not saying how he ultimately went about it was the best idea or the right thing to do, but i understand why he did it.

That being said, my point was that Benedict Arnold was also a brave man, and did brave things. But we don't celebrate him because of what he ultimately did.

Same with John Glenn. He did brave things, and he was a brave man by all accounts. But ultimately, he became a member of the democratic party, supported Barack Obama and his policies, and worked to undermine the 2nd amendment.

It is one thing to rationalize as in “explaining” treason but you were “excusing” Arnold’s treason by comparison to someone who simply differs from you politically.

He's a troll, and you guys are feeding him.

You are (again) correct. I think that I am criticizing him because I am bored.

You're right. Sorry. No more tidbits to the troll from me! Maybe it will go away...

Thats a pretty offensive suggestion.

I'm not a troll. I just don't like John Glenn.
