I believe the community has just latched on to the fact that 'Easterlings' are Haradrim. Why would Easterlings travel through dagorlath and the brown lands to go to mordor when they could travel through rhun, their homeland, where it's safer. Plus travelling through Ithlion would be easier for Southrons.

They are simply well armoured Haradrim. Even though that isn't right either.

MOVIES Um, no. That is clearly an easterling shield in the first picture. Those easterlings clearly came from Harad. They could have gone into Khand and up to the black Gate. They were not intented to be Haradrim, and are Easterlings. Period. Soo, you are saying they did the red route instead of the blue? There is a simple explanation. The easterlings seen in the movie could of been a patrol unit or a unit sent south to aid the haradrim against ranger raids.

The "army" that marches into the black gate is quite small for an army, so it's very possible they were just doing patrols or aiding haradrim tribes.
