Benedict Arnold was a "war hero with a distinguished service", until he betrayed us. Should he still be considered a hero?

Kerry betrayed his country by giving aid and comfort to the N. Vietnamese enemy with his protests, he is not much different from Benedict Arnold, why is he still considered a hero?

Also, every since he's been in the Senate, he voted against every weapons system, which helps the US be safe, he wanted to dismantle the CIA, and wants to put the UN in charge, selling out the sovereignity of the US.

How can he still be considered a hero?

I've thought of the Benidict Arnold analogy also.
J Fonda Kerry is so gun shy from his Vietnam experience he can NOT be elected president.

He doesn't want a strong military or CIA. Wants to turn the decision to deploy US troops over to the UN. Wants to make the war on Terror a criminal matter, like Clinton did.
