Sure, we can try to reverse-rationalize what happened. But what's the point of having a castle if not to withstand an invading army?
And further, how stupid is lady Olenna for allying herself with Danaerys without getting any muscle or military protection? Highgarden is the closest enemy castle to King's Landing yet she doesn't leverage any hard assets from Dany for her allegiance?
Just sit and think about how stupid this all is. Maybe that's the point, maybe all the brilliant minds have been systematically killed over these years of war. Doesn't make for great TV mind you to watch a bunch of dunderheads run around in ill conceived war.
