If god had meant for man to use var, he wouldn't have given us intrinsic types.

Three guesses as to the programmer's previous coding experience:
- VB
- Ruby
- Javascript

Surprisingly enough, it's C#.
The guy probably found dynamic online and having no experience in anything else than limited C# thought this was the right way to go.

I love var, but in the example you have posted, of course, that is an incorrect way to use it.
|

It is what make JavaScript so popular. The ability to assign anything to any variable, exists or not. Make life worth living.
|
|

|
|
But this isn't JavaScript and it doesn't work like that in C#.

"war fighters"??? What ever happened to "soldiers"? 
|
|
|

Ha! Sounds like when they renamed the "Police Force" to the "Police Service" in the UK. Dumb and pointless.

My lounge friendly reply: "soldiers" is not evil sounding. War fighters, is.

Except the language is from Fox News, which usually tries to avoid making our troops sound like bad people.
Probably someone in the editing dept trying to spice things up with their rogue thesaurus.
Edit: I stand corrected by Nathan's post, "war fighter" is more correct to use than "soldier". Still, "troops" or "service members" could have worked just as well.

Well, when I fought for the United States, I was a soldier and I left the military a soldier. Back then the media left/right was perfectly fine with the term "soldier".
I don't know what this war fighter crap is all about, but it is silly, I assure you.

I agree. While 'soldier' might not have been the technically correct term, it would have carried the same meaning to those of us who are not part of the 'club'.
Either way, I learned something new today.

In the US military, Soldiers are specific to the Army.
"War fighters" is a DoD term that's been in use for ages to cover all services that are actually deployed to combat (unlike, say, the Coast Guard). This is to avoid saying "Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines" when things apply to everyone, but it's been put into the more general vernacular in the last decade.

Someone shoved a US flag up where the sun don't shine then let him do a sales pitch on the foam. That was almost painful to read. Are Fox a really crappy source of information in the US (never having been subject to their crap before)?

The material is fascinating. The writing is not. The word count on "smithereens" was also disturbing; I suspect this may have been a high-schooler's paper that got cribbed.
