You can reload a garand pretty easily in a relaxed position and enviroment. The problem is that you have to brace it to hold back the bolt and then press the release with your other hand, causing both your hands, and the rifle, to be very awkwardly placed. While this sounds bad, the real problem was reloading a half-empty magazine into the rifle, leading troopers to scorn the idea of keeping half-depleted clips entirely. In a constrained combat enviroment, the awkwardness of removing a clip combined with the awkwardness of loading a half-full clip simply didn't contribute to their life expectancy. So they rather just shot their rifles empty and got new clips from supplies.

Initially, this made allied brass think americans were pussies who couldn't hit shit. Of course, after a little while, it became apparent that americans were pussies that were afraid to exchange their training and life for a couple of clips on someones supply forms.
