Because there are different tactics involved when you're an occupying force as opposed to hitting strategic targets from afar.
It's a big reason why we didn't have boots on the ground at Nagasaki on August 9th, 1945 - you don't need them when you're leveling an area (that and you know, the atrocities we committed that morning).
