Yeah, I have no problem with people calling them innate rights as long as we're clear that they are only innate in the sense of originating in our minds. They're not a "thing" that were born with. They are a "thing" we give ourselves, and only exist as long as we do so (and change our minds about constantly). What we see alot of (around here anyway) is ambiguity regarding the term with the proponent completely passing that over and then trying to make some concrete observation based on those "innate rights".
(yes, concepts, as far as we can tell, are all human, but some of them refer to a thing that exists outside of our minds, " innate rights" are no such concept, that's my only gripe.)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
