Spoiler for spoiler vol5, reply to felix:

As for the commander, I read him differently. I thought he was very much aware of all the various political agendas that got touched upon during the hearing. I also think he has doubts about some humans being involved in some sort of foul play. He seems smart enough to think for himself despite being bound by military protocol and then makes the best use of his orders according to his own notion of what needs to be done. I thought maybe the whole sortie for him was having the goal of finding out if anybody made a move for Eren and how. The research subjects were killed, and that special female titan showed more control than Eren himself - it also found the scouting party easily. Somebody inside is a traitor. Or somebody inside can shapeshift just like Eren. The commander might have suspected something along those lines. I read his question as "not sure if it is as simple as 'humans good, titans evil, Eren, be mindful of what happens around you!'"

... as mentioned in the manga before "such is human nature" ...somebody is playing a very evil play and the scouting legion commander suspected exactly that to be proven - though probably he did not anticipate such a hard reaction by the unknown opponent - at some point soon I hope he'll share his info with Eren and us.
