Actually, MacArthur DID want to nuke the 120000+ Chinese descending on the Chosan Basin and also those in their staging areas north of the Yaloo. He was fired by the then President Eisenhower becausa Ike told him no, Mac told the press what he felt about Ike and was sacked.

As far as Vietnam goes...When the shackles were released from the USAF and they were allowed to fight the war "their" way for 6 days, ie...bombing Hanoi and associated infrastructure, the North's efforts were set back for months. A 6 month campaign could have won that war, or at least set things so that a democratic gov't. could have had a chance.

So, the training doesn't seem to matter as much as what is actually done with the troops and weapons.
