i’m going through the mgs4 database and cross-referencing things with game/non retconned extra info to see how much of it has a source, and there’s this one line about big boss: “After that, he served as a combat instructor and worked to reintegrate former child soldiers into society.“

gonna be honest i dont think he ever ‘reintegrated’ any traumatised kids back into society, he just taught them that’ war was all they were ever good for

#turning frank and wolf into hardened killers isnt exactly giving them better lives #which is what 'reintegrating them into society' makes it sound like #technically i guess they all were former child soldiers. big boss just trained them into adult soldiers instead #he's also got his nice little war orphan collection in mg2 #naomi did alright but 1) she was never a soldier and 2) she kinda came as a package deal with frank #which i feel might be the only reason bb helped get her to america too #and she was still traumatised and lost her brother to war and got caught up in it all again #man i have so many tabs open this is ridiculous #mgs #★
