See, I was having this discussion with my son (bookreader) last night and he was saying that the Wall was built to keep the Wildlings out, now I cant remember all the details but I dont think thats right. Over time people forgot about the White Walkers and even stopped believing that they existed and the Wildlings became the more immediate threat, but I still thought the Wall was built to stop the White Walkers.
I mean, a 700ft wall seems a bit of overkill for some vagrants living in the woods.
