Because at that point in the war, fighting Kaiju had become something of a sport. Jaeger pilots were celebrities, not soldiers. The Jaeger program was in its prime, fielding a few dozen Mechs, any one of which could beat the run-of-the-mill Kaiju that were showing up from the Rift. Bear in mind that the Kaiju attacks featured in the excellent documentary Pacific Rim were not your average Kaiju, being specially adapted to fighting Jaegers. There was a ten year period where Kaiju weren't taken very seriously, when humanity got complacent.
