I did finish Snake Eater. Did you finish Portable Ops?
Did you play Metal Gear 1 and 2?
He ended up scorned.
Yeah, perfect soldier state sounds good. But he was pissed off. Soldiers are warriors, but they kneel to their country, like the Boss told him. Slaves to politics. After seeing The Boss, and so many of his comrades die being caught up between the politics of war, he finally had enough.
Snake killed a lot of his brothers on the Fox Archipelago (Genome soldiers, Liquid), was injected with a deadly virus that is bound to kill him one day, used by the government for its own means. But he didn't bitch up and run to some other country to create his own state. He stayed and fought for what was right, and all that hero stuff.
In the end, Big Boss ended up like (almost)every other villian, scorned by the world, and mad all time. And as far as Snakes bosses turning on him? Big Boss was the first one. He used the same tactics on Snake as the government did on him. Does that say something about Snak, or Big Boss?
Matter of fact, where can I find the MGS Compendium?!?
