Talk:Military doctrine

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)
