Benedict Arnold was a military hero and genius before he betrayed the USA. Pence can’t even claim battlefield heroics

This. Not forgiving his betrayal, but Arnold was a brilliant commander and had some legitimate grievances behind his decision to turn traitor based upon his (mis)treatment by the Continental Congress. He also only planned to turn over one fortification to the British, not the entire goddamn country.

When Benedict Arnold was leading the forces of the King against his former compatriots in Virginia, among his prisoners was a certain plucky and witty officer, who, in answer to Arnold's question, "What will the Americans do with me if they catch me?" replied, "They will cut off the leg which was wounded when you were fighting so gloriously for the cause of liberty, and bury it with the honors of war, and hang the rest of your body on a gibbet.

There is a monument to an unknown soldier in Saratoga national park that is just a boot.

Pence has always been full of sh!t. Guess that is why flies are attracted to him.
