For all they know, she is just a sheltered girl that has some relationship to Ironwood (niece, a friend's daughter, he is her guardian, ect). People aren't questioning the solders motivations just that one of the best ways of protecting her is not drawing attention to her and thus making her stand out or seem important. Two soldiers standing next to you is kind of like having a flashing light on your head, painting yourself lime green, warring a Lady GaGa outfit and using a loud speaker to announce there is nothing unusual about the sight and hopping you won't get noticed.

Ironwood could be somewhat incompetent, Ozpins reprimand for almost starting a war by dragging his fleet across the continent in Best Day Ever is evidence of the possibility.

But now I really, really want them to be Caboose and Sarg.
