Halo came out in 2001 in which the world was a little different. Even though I was a little kid back then I'd thought the UN was going bring everyone together, eventually.
If the UN did bring us all together, America (as the most powerful nation) would have the greatest influence. America dominate the space market (with NASA) and have the most powerful military on the planet. It's important to note just how interlinked those two factors are, with surveillance satellites being a good example.
I would guess that world began to adopt American values with the UN overseeing this and with the knowledge that there was other life in the universe, Earth became more like a nation in a continent rather than a grouping of nations. As such, the American military style (as the most effective) was adopted as the UN military style (but in space to make it the UNSC).
TLDR: America is a powerful nation.
Or perhaps it's simply because Bungie are from the US.
