Frienemies A British army officer, buying beef to feed his troops, reported that he questioned a Brigadier General of the New York State Militia, in full uniform, who was assisting driving that herd into Canada. "Don't you consider it treason to trade with the enemy?" he asked. The officer replied: "Trading with the enemy is forbidden, sir, but I would not regard anyone who offered me such a good price in gold for my cattle as being my enemy."
