There is a better reason. The picture of the USS Missouri is thrilling.
Army commanders have a special kind of love for field artillery, and the reason is this: Once the projectile has left the end of the barrel, there is not a technology in the solar system that can stop it from hitting its target. Plus.....with a good forward spotter, artillery is stunningly accurate. Any Army commander will tell you "Give me some infantry and some artillery, and I can capture any real estate you want." Defense is futile.
