I want to complain at the fact that nowhere in the book are any Rohirrim given kitchen duty for turning up too late at roll call. That is a

occurrence in real armies and *should* have been included.

LotR is fantasy, right? You don't seem to have a problem with elves, wizards, dragons, wraiths, magic rings, hobbits, ents, orcs, dwarves, and so on, so why worry about warriors who actually want to fight, and show up on time?

You want realism? Think about the less-wealthy Galadhrim who live in the lower parts of the trees, and have to put up with Celeborn and pals

off the edge of the flet. (or worse) "Oh you uncultured hobbits! We

the latest in healthful open-air plumbing!" (On the other hand, maybe

get a peek up Galadriel's dress occasionally.)
