Try to explain it away as much as you like. The fact of the matter is...SPOILERIt's just another inconsistency. Or maybe that wasn't a spoiler and you already knew it. HC, are you just Peter Jackson in disguise?Éowyn's speech in the film alludes to the fact that the women are able to fight. Which makes the fact that they would send out their young sons and not go themselves a little unbelievable. I think that the whole sending boys off to war thing was a bad idea. It makes me really want to bash Éomer for deserting his people, and that's just wrong. It's been a couple of months since I read the books, but last I heard Éomer was the man.
