Philadelphia
Arnold sent a letter to the British commander through a Loyalist shopkeeper in Philadelphia to Sir Henry Clinton. Clinton used John Andre his adjutant general to deal with Arnold and his demands. By 1780 Clinton agreed to a payment of 20,000 pounds for for the capture of West Point and 3,000 troops. The plot was discovered when Andre carrying papers by Arnold was seized on Sept. 23, 1780 by the NY militia near Terrytown when he was returning from a meeting with Arnold. Arnold fled to Clinton in NYC and he never got a command or the money he asked for from the British. He was not trusted by anyone.
general grant
Initally it was General Douglas MacArthur and later General Matthew Ridgeway.
There are at least five ranks of general (including brigadier) officers in the military of most countries. Command is assigned by managerial skills, not number of subordinates. The lowest rank of general can command around 3000 to 5000 troops in a standard situation. This is highly variable depending on the nature of the command structure, mission, and location. The top general (or marshal) commands the whole of the branch of service (army, marine, or air force) which can be hundreds of thousands of troops.

I believe any General in a high command position, an Army, a Major command or above can and should convene a General Courts-Martial to try Obama, Clinton, Panetta, Kerry, Holder and Valerie Jarrett. Dr. Thomas E. Davis, Colonel, USA (ret)
