This is incredible.
This opens up so many doors for veterans struggling with CTE, PTSD, and a host of other issues to pursue their treatment legally. I’m excited to see what happens from here.
Ah yes, the classic “I read one sentence from the Treaty of Tripoli and now I think I’m a constitutional scholar” argument.
Let me help you out, champ.
That quote? It’s from Article 11 of the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli, written to reassure Muslim powers (specifically the Barbary pirates) that America wasn’t a crusading Christian empire trying to force religion down their throats—because, plot twist: those pirates were enslaving Americans and demanding tribute. That’s kind of important context, no?
The treaty was diplomatic fluff to stop Americans from being sold at North African slave markets, not a philosophical dissertation on the nation’s founding values.
But hey, since we’re cherry-picking, let’s play:
•Patrick Henry (Founding Father):
“It cannot be emphasized too strongly… that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
•John Adams (yes, same guy who signed the treaty):
“The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity.”
•U.S. Supreme Court (1892 – Church of the Holy Trinity v. U.S.):
“This is a Christian nation.”
Nobody serious is arguing that America was founded as a theocracy. What Speaker Johnson said is that it was founded on Judeo-Christian principles—which is objectively true. The value of human life, natural rights, moral law, equality before God, and freedom of conscience all come straight from that tradition.
So maybe instead of flexing that one sentence from one treaty meant to keep Americans from getting enslaved, try reading literally anything else the Founders wrote—or what the laws, courts, and cultural norms looked like for the first 150 years of the republic.
Reading is good. Comprehension is better.

Government when you deploy:
"Hey 18 year old kid fresh out of high school who is still a virgin and never drank a beer, take this Barret M107A1 and go destroy that mud hut on that mountain over here because your country needs you to FiGhT FoR OuR fREeDoM"
Government when you're home:
"We should ban .50 BMG rifles because no civilian needs a rifle that can shoot down a helicopter, disable most military vehicles, or shoot through the windows of all the armored limousines and trucks we have."
