User blog comment:Jkphantom9/Ironwood - Not a shady character after all?/@comment-11188061-20141010021325/@comment-25411051-20141011160437

If Ironwood had any thoughts about betraying Ozpin I don't think he would express his doubts to Ozpins "good" right hand. Being kept in the dark sucks. Ironwood is just expressing the fustration of not being the one in the know. Remember he is in command back home. There he is the one who's in the know and those below him are probably on a need to know basis. No Gen. likes to be reminded he is outranked.

We used to call it " The basic right to gripe".

Glynda said (paraphrased) We're aren't the ones in the dark he (Ozpin) is. That worries me more.
