I asked Col. Applegate about this once and his response was, ( I'm paraphrasing as close as I remember)
" We didn't have the luxury of training someone for 6 plus years until they became expert martial artists, we were at war and had to train soldiers fast. We did this by teaching very direct and simple methods of hand to hand combat that."
Of course the war he spoke about was World War Two.
