That's the irony isn't it, Dany's army is the most diverse army of any of the armies in Westeros, like by a mile. Just sayin' I'm really curious how all those Dothraki bloodriders are going to handle following Dany and her dragons across the narrow sea. Their culture is really different, and uncivilized by comparison. They may agree to stop the slavery custom because Daenerys demands it but I don't see them stopping the rape and pillage they are accustomed to doing when they defeat new areas. Slavery is obviously out, and I don't think they will rape either. Dany has already had men castrated in the books for it, and she left that part out of her speech that was otherwise identical to Drogo's. It will certainly be a challenge to keep that many warriors in line, but these people also worship her as a diety. She will have more control over them as any khal ever has, if not complete control. Of course there will be plenty of killing and pillaging though. The Wildlings are in a similar situation. Stealing woman and some of the other stuff they get up to beyond the Wall isn't going to fly underneath Jon.

They both lead armies of unruly crazy people. Sadly, I think most of those crazy armies are going to die in the battles to come. Tormund's army of wildlings is only a couple thousand as he said in their strategy planning meeting and I'm sure a great many of them are going to die fighting at Winterfell. The Dothraki outnumber everyone else by far. We know there's not going to be 100k come across to Westeros - most of that number at Vaes Dothrak were probably women, children and elderly who would be useless in Westeros which is why I believe most of them will stay behind during the war conquest. But even if half that number come across, that's still a massive number of Dothraki, plus unsullied!

Dany is trying to control the Dothraki, and Jon is trying to control the Wildlings, both formerly uncontrollable peoples.

I think it will be a pretty big number coming with her. Drogo had 40k screamers in his khalasar alone. Granted it was the biggest by far, but when you add up all the other khalasar's that's a lot of warriors.
