Everything about ASOIAF can be explained by George RR Martin's long career as a military science fiction author.

How else could one be free to build a medieval fantasy world so unburdened by historical realism?

Which long career as a military science fiction writer?

I admit aside ASOIAF I haven't read much GRRM -- his awesome Sandkings short story, and his collaboration with Lisa Tuttle, Windhaven, and I'm aware of some of his horror/fantasy fiction.

Checking on Wikipedia I don't see a lot of military scifi in the list...
