How come bench press is more effective on triceps than military press?

Don't they have the same concept in terms of lifting arms? I thought the only difference between the two was bench press focuses on chest while military focuses on shoulders. Am I wrong?How come bench press is more effective on triceps than military press?It seems to me that because of the incline on the military press, the shoulders are the focus, shifting the tension a bit off of the tricep. And, of course, the shoulders are also worked in the bench press. But the arms are worked in both, like you said. It's got to be an enlargment of the role of the shoulder in the military press, because of the angle of motion, that makes the difference.
