I agree
Essex I only saw them as Saruman or Grima's henchmen, not Rohirrim. With the exclusion of the "Scouring of the Shire" these guys that Aragorn and Company beat up makes me think of the Ruffians that took over the Shire with "Sharkey." Not actual Rohirrim. Theoden's guard were the ones in chainmail, in which I believe Hama was the captain until he died, then Gamling was the captain. The guy's in tattered clothing I believe are the "Ruffians" that take over the shire.
Now, you got me started about Hama. What? Why did PJ have to kill Hama 10 minutes into the movie with the "fake warg rider" attack. Give the man his glory and rightful burial after dying at Helm's deep.

This easy corruption of the Rohirrim is hard for me to digest.

I hope you haven't forgotten the easy corruption of the Rohirrim when they visited Saruman. Oh yes, Saruman had the Rohirrim cheering in praise until Theoden and Eomer flat out rejected him, ahhh so dissappointed that wasn't in the movie, hopefully it will be in the EE. I mean if Saruman shoots flaming balls out of his staff they better put in his attempts at "corrupting" the Rohirrim and others.
