Actually, AsyncTask will use a thread out of a thread pool for each REST call.

Performing multiple network operations in tandem on parallel threads
is a common pattern -- Web browsers do this so it doesn't take a
minute to download a Web page, for example. Whether or not it is
appropriate in any given case is indeterminate, but I would not throw
it out.
