That being said Opin has the opposite problem. Hmm enemies are gathering? I'll send some undertrained students in as scouts. I'm sure they are competent enough that they won't tip are enemies off and force them to aceclearate their plans.

Seriously Ozpin is so passive he he let Cinder set up  right under neath his nose.

What we really need is a balance between the two approaches. In Ironwood's mind, it's better than letting Salem's agents of terror sneak into Atlas and do to it what they did to Vale.

Indeed, it probably would've gone better if Ironwood and Ozpin had actually found compromise, a middle ground, and done that instead of sticking only to what Ozpin wanted to do. Instead of going "This is my house. We'll do as I say," Ozpin should've found a middle ground between his and Ironwood's extremes.
