For the Record

I just want to go on record that I am not at all convinced that Russians hacked the DNC e-mails or John Podesta's private e-mail account.

The Wildings and Night Watch gets their ass kicked and are only saved from being surrounded and killed to the last man because they have small boats available to take them out to the safety of the bigger ships. A lot of seasoned warriors know that when ever you're in enemy territory, it's probably a good idea to send out scouts, establish OPs and LPs so that the enemy doesn't sneak up and take you unawares. Snow never seems to get with the program here. Then there is the liet motiv of him letting his troops get completely surrounded so that someone has to come save him out of the blue.
