[Attack on Titan] Why does everybody seem to suck so much at fighting the titans?

I am about half-way through the series and maybe I am missing some fundamental point but it seems that the majority of the soldiers fail spectacularly at fighting the titans and end up being eaten.

I understand that in order to kill a titan you have to cut the back of their neck in a specific way, but isn't this what they were training for at the boot camp?

Also, it frustrates me that the majority of the soldiers can't escape using their 3D maneuver gear. Sure, there have been times when they have run out of power and can't get away, but a lot of the time it seems that it shouldn't be too hard to outrun the slow moving titans.

Can somebody explain this to me a bit better?

Most soldiers never get to fight a Titan. EVER. There has been only 2 attacks to the walls for over 100 years, plus the best soldiers are send to protect the King, so they never actually see any real action. I'd say most veteran soldiers can't even use the 3D maneuver gear correctly, they only used it in their 2 years of training.

The only soldiers that actually know how to fight Titans, are the Recon Corps, and they aren't that good either.
