Does anyone else hate the Rohanites? Or am I just a horrible person?

Sure it can. It's just that when I see Rohan, I think it two sips away from becoming a dustbowl.

And note that the grass around Helm's Deep will be even greener the next season...all of those dead elves fertilizing it.

Welcome to the Downs, BGreg.

More pathetic than the civvies run outa town with little more than their skivvies, is the sight of the proud Gondorian army getting crushed by a few trolls and some orcs.
