[Futurama] How does Earth's military go from being so hopelessly inept to being capable of blockading Omnicron Persei 8?

The Omnicronians are a society so adept in warfare that they consider planetary conquest something young Omnicronians achieve for a merit badge, and Earth's ineptness at combat has been demonstrated countless times -such as when the entire planet surrendered to a single Omnicronian child trying to earn his merit badge. But shortly after that, in retaliation the Earth forces effectively blockaded Omnicron Persei 8. How was such a proven inept force capable of blockading such a proven overwhelming force?

Earths home defense forces, headed by Captain Zapp Branigan, are hopelessly inept, and thus kept close to home. The expeditionary forces on the other hand are devastatingly effective. This is because president Nixon is far more interested in offense than defense, also because Zapp is in his good ole boys circle.
