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 common 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?
I do have a problem with elves, wizards, dragons, wraiths, magic rings, hobbits, ents, dwarves and so on. They all turn up in the evenings and talk about their problems when I want to sleep. And that does include the magic rings; after all, the Ring spoke on Mount Doom, didn't it?
