Who is the Author?

My name is Dennis Lam. I am currently a high school student in Northern California, and my greatest interest is the study of warfare. As a joke, I once wrote a school report about depleted uranium and the M1 Abrams series of main battle tanks; consequently, I got seriously hooked and ever since then, I have been reading up on anything about war I can get my hands on. This web site allows me to project and document some of my own thoughts and speculation on warfare. Even if nobody reads my writing, I'll be able to refer to it later on and reflect/refine my opinions.

You can find me on TankNet under the handle "Xonitex". It is by far the the most intelligent, civil, and professional armor discussion forum on the internet, and is a good source of accurate, reliable information from first-party sources on many military subjects. I encourage all serious military enthusiasts to give it a visit. Be brave! Start a thread! These guys love talking about anything combat, even (and especially) about sword techniques, metallurgy, ancient warfare, etc.

Disclaimer:

I'm not a warmonger and I don't mean to glorify or promote war in any way. The objective study of war can lead to more effective, refined doctrine which will shorten wars in the future and reduce the severity of casualties.
