Because the US Army manages US wars; the US Army has jurisdiction over land wars. USAF & USN SUPPORT the US Army. The US Army always preferred to study Europe for future wars; the US Army absolutely did not want to fight any Asian Wars. Money (Defense Budgets) were 99% allocated for European Wars. Asia represented a dirty filthy ruthless war fought without mercy. Europe represented chivalry and the fine art of hi-tech weapons.
