Another thing to note is that the Macross fleets are ridiculously far apart from one another. Even if Macross 7 had seen tons of combat, that wouldn't help the UN Spacy forces in Macross Frontier at all. I think that each fleet can be thought of as separate countries in the sense that each is commanded and organized differently from the others. Furthermore, Ozma was in NUNS himself, but he doesn't have a very high opinion of them - he obviously knows something the audience doesn't know.
