Yet you wanna believe a guy with bone spurs and 5 deferments, who insults gold star families and soldiers in captivity, redirects millions of$$$ from the military and bans trans from serving their country. Cool.

Plus how was he a traitor when he was loyal to the Crown, being a Brit n all?

He was as much of a traitor as it's possible to be - he was first a traitor to the crown, then a traitor to the colonies and his fellow Americans. I doubt georgie forgot that Arnold was in command during several battles against his armies(many of which the british army got smashed in - Saratoga comes to mind in particular)

I know this is difficult to understand, but you know how in the movies the British sound British and The "Americans" sound like straight out of CNN central? Naah, I better not explain it, because then you're going to argue how el Romanas alla hadda Ingeeshe accentos tu.

The Americans WERE BRITS, just like you, mate.
(Love to see your face if you ever find out that South Americans, Central Americans, Caribbean Americans, Mexicans and even, yes, Canadians are Americans. Amerigovespoucciland is a place, son, not a race.

Oh, and sedition is sedition, no matter what people say centuries later.

So Canadians, mexicans, caribbean americans, south americans, and native americans are all american because of where they're born, but the colonists(who had been living in north america for generations by the time of the revolution) were not american, but ONLY british(which is apparently a race and not just a place) I don't think you thought your argument out very thoroughly. Hardly surprising though. You're stupid enough to still be believing I'm british after a year(or has it been longer?) now of me telling you otherwise. What was I thinking expecting you to make an argument without it self destructing within a couple of sentences?

Goodness, you are an idiot. READ what I said S-L-O-W-L-Y.

Sheesh, hate to see your reaction if I was to tell you America is NOT a nation, but a federation. United Statians are just as American as the rest of Americans, but not more so, mkay?

Be just like me calling you a Kingdomian because you're from the UK, you capicheing me yet, or is yer English to English Google translate app broken?

I guess you missed the part in history class where the articles of confederation were tossed in favor of a stronger central government binding the states together as one nation. You must've also missed the entire bit about the civil war, no? You know, where some states believing they were part of a loose federation decided to go their own way and ended up getting torched?

Did someone say "Electoral College"?

It was only shortly after the Civil War that Lincoln started referring to the USA as a "nation."
Before that we were New Yorkers, Virginians, Pennsylvanians.... You CAN look this up you know.

A "confederacy," btw, is another word for "federation." G-G--Git it?

"The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes." - part of G. Washington's farewell address.

Nope, sorry. You're still a moron.

Took you a mere two hours to find someone using the word "American" to describe United Statians back then, in Washington's FAREWELL ADDRESS, NO LESS!

If you READ that segment with some degree of comprehension, you would understand that Washington's parting words were urging "Union" (as he oft referred to them) citizens to think of themselves as Americans, as opposed to "more than any appellation derived from local discriminations."

While not a member of any party - being against them, in fact - he did lean towards the Federalist ideals he espoused in that Address.

You said it yourself earlier:

"OhWell 5h

I guess you missed the part in history class where the articles of confederation were tossed in favor of a stronger central government binding the states together as one nation. You must've also missed the entire bit about the civil war, no? You know, where some states believing they were part of a loose federation decided to go their own way and ended up getting torched?"

Yes, the Constitution strengthened a centralized (Federal) goverment, and again, yes, the Civil War gave further cause for those supporting this ideal, JUST. LIKE. I. SAID, ya daft twit. Thus the identity of being a citizen of one of the States was eroded in favor of the notion of being a citizen of America.

If you have anything else to offer to verify what I had stated earlier, do go ahead.

You can't be this stupid.

- Oh wait, you are.

The US army claims direct descendence from the continental army, and many of the first officers in the US army were former continental veterans. You can act like the difference was huge, but it's more of a technicality than anything substantive.

Pointless to hash over their weak effort of mucky muck.... The operant "Benedict Arnold" part went way over their heads.

I don't know about him being a Benedict Arnold, but several of his military peers have reported him being a chow thief, and if true, I find that rather unprofessional.

Apparently he was pretty chummy with foreigners, including russians and enjoyed talking trash about the US, as well. See ross09ya's post above and look for that tweet he pictured if you're interested in hearing more

Officer always get medals that their troops do. He set up the missions, troops knock em down. Only thing on his chest that means a damn is the purple heart, and I give him respect but commished since 1999 and that is his rack? Ok. Trump might not have served, but he's a damn better leader than what we've had in the past few decades.
