I think this probably is the biggest reason. Most nullsec and other transient corps that join the militias for a quick LP/Isk boost are mindful of access to Jita, thus tend to choose either the Caldari or Amarr militia, with GalMil as their absolute last choice. These corps/alliance arrive expecting their numbers will overwhelm the opposing Militia. Then when they find that their one huge blob cannot compete against small scattered skirmishing gangs, they start stamping their feet and demanding the rest of their militia get behind their objectives and some even go to the extreme of shooting friendlies that they perceive are doing nothing other than milking the tier and LP advantages that they had no part in creating.
In the last 2 years that I've been in the Minmatar Militia, I've only seen one large blob join us and of course one major civil war. That was Biohazard/Winmatar. When they arrived, they believed they could take over the whole warzone and maintain Tier 5 indefinitely. They joined us when the Amarr were peaking and things quickly turned around reinforcing their view that they had made the difference. They refused to believe that the warzone ebbed and flowed like a tide between the two sides. Eventually, we reached a point where the Minmatar held most of the warzone. Tier 5 was reached and for a couple of weeks things were rosy. But then the tide turned and started going back to the Amarr. Biohazard couldn't understand it, they started raging in militia chat as to how useless every other corp was. How the rest of us were just a bunch of farmers taking advantage of their efforts. Thus how we didn't deserve their protection and couldn't expect to run POS's with immunity if we wouldn't defend the warzone. So they started taking friendly POSs off other Minmatar Militia corp. After about 2 weeks of civil war, what was left of Biohazard/Winmatar had quit the Minmatar and ran to the Gallente.

This is a stupid conclusion. Winmatar were still reeling from the kicking they had just taken from the Minmatar, almost half their members had quit, which included one of their Titan pilots. Of course they are going to be a bit docile after that. In short the Minmatar trained them to eat a bit of humble pie. Besides they were gone within a few weeks, they switched back to the Amarr Militia as soon as they had the standings to do that. I can't speak for Khan, but wasn't their arrival in GalMil under similar circumstances?
