Benedict Arnold, turned on the cause out of frustration of how he was treated by the politicos.

He was one of our best Generals. If you study his life and times, he was driven to the British side by politicians...our politicians!

Really? I read somewhere (I forget where) that the reason he turned was because his wife had expensive tastes and so the money 'needed' motivated him to sell information to the British.
