Hank is being a little melodramatic to condemn Scott for his leadership. But Scott has shown repeatedly that he is unwilling to acknowledge his own flaws as a leader (and they are many), so it makes sense that a close friend would attack his stubbornness rather than support it. Scott leads the X-Men as an authoritarian ruler of "his people." Making orders and treating fellow mutants like soldiers, when they are in fact people, some even children. My understanding of the rift between Logan and Scott was not because Scott thought students were expendable. They are in a rift because Scott is willing to use children as a weapon to the extent of condoning murder. He is behaving more and more like an animal being backed into a corner willing to do anything to get out. Logan on the other hand seems to have his murderous ways in perspective. He told Storm during second coming that he would have killed those people with or without orders, but that's who he is. Storm and Beast were both able to accept that. Logan's hang up is that he'd never ask one of the children to kill. I think Logan still acknowledges the difference between what it is to be an "X-Man" vs what it is to be a "Mutant." The survival of one's race/species is a cause worth fighting for, but the X-Men are heroes 1st and foremost. You wear the spandex, you save the day. Scott is rapidly headed down the path Magneto has followed from the gate, and has yet to realize it.
