Thanks Hari. You left over 'Product'. I think 'thought' is also a product of 'thinking'.
Thinking ... is an active verb, but at the same time its adjective and noun as well... thinking is definitely a process
Thought .. is a noun .. or past tense.
Seeing it through 'strategic' perspective American Exceptionalism and Russian Uniqueness etc are strategic thoughts .. not processes. However, they were definitely result or product of a process .. What is that process???
Literature review reveals that term of 'Strategic Thought Process' has not been used in relation to strategic thought or military strategic thought of a nation / army. Therefore, strategic thought is not a process, it is a product of an evolutionary process. Strategic thought is evolved through influences of various enduring and dynamic elements like history, ideology, geography, strategic culture, politics, economy, military might, military strategic thought, and above all intellectual prowess of the strategic community.
