Or maybe because the largest navy in the world at the time was our ally and because during his presidency the United Sates was still very much a secondary power.The idea that US might get involved had no effect on WWI starting in fact The US was playing both sides for a good while profiting from sales of goods and munitions to both sides.
Dedication to having a fully effective and cost effective military would be an ideal president(never going to happen).Favoring one branch typically means that under that president the loved branch gets more than it needs and the other branches become red headed step children.
Not say that he was a bad president by any means but I would not consider his favor for the Navy a good trait at any rate we are straying well away from the thread topic at this point.
