Wait, you didn't already have the walls manned? It came as a surprise to you that you needed to man the castle walls?

TRYING to give them the benefit of the doubt on that one -- I could blindly assume that, because it is winter in the North, and presumably cold as hell, men would be indoors and/or huddled around fires in the courtyard etc., and swapping shifts with the watchmen on the walls, and when the call came in to man the walls, it meant EVERYBODY to the walls NOW.
Among the long list of stupidities, that one is pretty low I would say as I can at least rationalize a pretty reasonable explanation there (even though we didn't see men huddled around fires etc.).
