8. easy answer:
A US recruit goes to an existing unit that has thousands and thousands of man-hours of experience and tradition. He will initially serve under the close supervision of experienced veterans, in an organization that has evolved over the past 200 years.

Iraqi units are being created from scratch. There are no seasoned non-coms to guide each recruit, since they are all recruits. The entire system is new.

This is pretty much like the difference between IBM hiring a new employee, and created IBM from the ground up.
