Just a small point Eurytus. You have mentioned twice now that in 'real' warfare, women get raped and children get slain, yet this does not happen in the Lord of the Rings. I'm not sure thats quite true. Just because the author doesn't mention every detail of the war, there is certainly space for these evils to happen, in the defenceless villages of Rohan for example.
