Greetings to everyone, my name is Leoben and I live in the very beautiful US Pacific Northwest. I love literature, philosophy, debate and discourse, writing, and Confucianism, among many other things. I am a pretty accepting guy but I do have my prejudices as we all do. Lately I have been writing quite a bit, although only one piece is related to WWII, which I will post fairly soon. I have always been very interested in history, and I think I know plenty to get around any history forum, including this one. I haven't lurked around, but I read the rules and I think this is a quality forum. Here's to fruitful discourse, Leoben
