It says that all men are endowed these rights by a creator, which doesn't imply that nationality has anything to do with those rights. George Washington was the worst of the Founding Fathers, and didn't write the Declaration of Independence.

The declaration says there's a right to "Life" and every one of the founders fought a bloody revolutionary war.
I don't think it makes any sense to read the Declaration as a pacifist document.
George Washington personally ran a spy ring: https://www.mountvernon.org/george-washington/the-revolution...
