Why did Eisenhower oppose spending on conventional force and instead stockpile a nuclear arsenal and delivery system?

The concept of conventional war had upon hard times after WWII, and a the concept/idea of deterrent be more and more popular. The main thought or idea was no one would start a war if they knew everyone would lose. Also at the time, the USA was THE MAJOR world power and was trying very hard to consoildate that place with an arsenal of unbeatable power. It's use of atomic bombs in Japan helped to solidify that stance. Might was right, and the US had ( we thought ) all the might.
