I was literally laughing when the North men started raping and killing women and children....because of how stupid that was and unbelievable.

Half the north took up arms for the family—a family knowing for to flaying people alive—that helped slaughter their king, his wife, and his mother at his uncles wedding. And then when the sadistic bastard killed his father, they fought for him, even after he playfully slaughtered the young son of their former Lord and brother to their former king. So to expect the North’s soldiers to NOT have some soldiers ready to rape and pillage, is quite strange.

And I mean even in our relatively modern times, every army has had soldiers, even entire squadrons of soldiers who have som far worse (Japanese in China during WWII, including our own, bunch of army in history, let alone in the feudal (Westeros) and Steppe (Dothraki) that is a large basis for this fictional universe.

And just to add to that, they just for fighting the army of the dead. Now they have women plus potential riches and glory all around them.
