You are right, but she does can discredit him.

If his soldiers are curb-stomped and a lot of people die, get hurt and the city gets blasted after he was put in charge of the security above Ozpin because he supposedly was better equipped for the task, he is going to loose all credibility, specially when you consider he is already kind of criticized for the way he is running the Atlas Academy. Kind of a "we trusted you and gave you a chance for you to show you are on our side and you screwed up" situation, bonus points if Cinder hacks the AKs and makes them attack the civilians. Even if Ironwood can prove they were hacked, it would take a while, by then his credibility would have already been damaged and the fact he didn't detect the security breach is not going to look that good either.

Actually... this made me think about something. Up until this point I had though perhaps Cinder belonged to some anti-individualism faction that survived from the Great War or some Grimm cult (as the Grimm are supposedly the manifestation of anonymity). But what if it's the contrary? What if she is an individualist extremist?

Atlas is under scrutiny for indoctrinating hunters into the army. Which kind of goes against the idea of hunters that appeared after the Great War; of having them being independent of any group and in a way that kind of makes them the personification of individualism as their detachment makes them supposedly impossible to be assimilated into a mass.

If Cinder's beef is with Atlas, it could also explain how she got the WF's support. So far in all this talk about faunus discrimination the only name that has been pointed is the SDC, who has close ties with the Atlesian Army.
