Well.. sadly, Benedict Arnold was a soldier, too...

From here:
Senior Democrat calls for U.S. troops to leave Iraq

Rep. Murtha: 'U.S. and coalition troops have done all they can' WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Warning that other global threats "cannot be ignored," Rep. John Murtha, D-Pennsylvania, a leading adviser on defense issues, called on Thursday for the immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. "U.S. and coalition troops have done all they can in Iraq," the senior lawmaker said. "It's time for a change in direction." He said he believes all the forces could be redeployed over a six-month period. Murtha, a former Marine Corps colonel and veteran of the Vietnam war, is the first senior lawmaker to call for an immediate withdrawal. Other critics of the war have asked President Bush to set up a timetable for withdrawal. (Watch Murtha's take on 'flawed policy wrapped in illusion' -- 8:11) Murtha's call for a withdrawal may have a significant impact on the debate over the future of the Iraq war, as both Democrats and Republicans seek his advice on military and veterans' issues.
That's all our enemies need to hear. Just when they may be close to breathing their "last gasps", along comes this bozo to give them another reason to continue to kill our men and women. The democrat party has shown themselves these past few weeks as "not being above sinking to new lows" in their perverted quest for power in 2006, and they're happy to step over more and more bodies of our fallen to do it.

Yes, we are in a war with the Al Qaeda-led insurgency in Iraq. But at the same time we are also engaged in a propaganda war against political opportunists; who possess no qualms about providing our enemies comfort and with the will to persevere. The question is, do we (the Republican Party) have the same will to fight the war at home as our brave men and women have in fighting the war to liberate Iraq?

We, as citizens, must never cease to apply pressure to our elected republican officials to continue that fight. We owe at least that much to them.
