520			_aThe author of this article provides his views on the US military strategy in using counterinsurgency against enemy nations and questions how effective is the strategy used by the US military. The article suggests that counterinsurgency be used as a last resort in wars in the pursuit of national security interests, that experts should not just pursue wars as a means of testing the new theories of warfare in the name of transforming warfare. It concludes by proposing that an understanding of history and clear strategic thinking toward current and future security problems should be done as the basis of any war operations.
