I think this article is wrong in that it is confusing a "military doctrine" with a "diplomatic doctrine". There already is an article that lists diplomatic doctrines. (Perhaps "foreign policy doctrine" is a better term than "diplomatic doctrine", however). To me, a military doctrine is a theory of how to use the military once engaged in a war, not the theory on how and when you go to war in the first place. "Blitzkrieg" was a German military doctrine during World War II, for example--or the use of air power might be considered a military doctrine. I think this article should be deleted. soulpatch
I believe I have corrected this misperception. There is a specific definition of doctrine and specific applications. I hope this clarifies things. -- GABaker
As in military operations, so here, redundancy is good. Fredbauder 17:44 Oct 26, 2002 (UTC)

- The National Security Strategy of the United States of America is a document prepared periodically by the executive branch of the government of the United States which outlines the major
security concerns of the United States and how the administration plans to deal with them. The latest National Security Stategy was issued on September 27, 2002, see National Security Strategy of the United States [1].
The NSS is different from military doctrine. The NSS influences military doctrine but the linkage isn't extremely close.
I think this article should focus more on the main aspects of the nations doctrine and how they are executed rather than just listing information on how and who created the doctrines.--Gw099 02:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
