I thought that this was the beginning of an argument to support designation of Benedict Arnold Day as a national holiday. After all if we are compelled to honor McCain for his “service”, Benedict Arnold Day should be a layup.
Well, except for his final betrayal, Benedict Arnold did as much or more good for the country than most of his compatriots ...
He and Daniel Morgan came within an inch of taking Quebec for the colonies ...
He significantly delayed and turned back a British invasion from Canada at the Battle of Valcour Island ...
And he and Daniel Morgan (again) were the key factors in the victory over the British at Saratoga.
I would be far more likely to celebrate Benedict Arnold Day before John McCain III Day ...

John McCain IS our modern-day Benedict Arnold!
