Oh, I know about all those, but people didn't commonly TALK about them as doctrines.

Anyone with pretensions to the Oval Office should have a decent grounding in those major iterations of new US foreign policies, at a minimum, because they raise fundamental questions about where we intervene, who we just contain, who we try to change through engagement, etc.

Without a broad and calibrated view, presidents flail around and get belligerent when they should opt for another choice, very often.

It's like hiring a lawyer to handle a big civil case for you, and finding out he doesn't know much about Supreme Court precedents on the major issues in your case. Sure they are all in books and he can ask someone, but don't you want someone who is already well versed in the key issues?
