Forum:Big Boss' role in Metal Gear

So, for all intents and purposes, the Patriots sent Solid Snake in to destroy Big Boss during Operation Intrude N313. Now, I'm a little confused on this, because Big Boss ran FOXHOUND, the group that the United States government, aka The Patriots, commissioned for their dirty work. Big Boss was also the leader of Outer Heaven. Given that Boss left the States after Les Enfants, am I correct in assuming that he secretly resumed command of FOXHOUND in order to send Snake in under the Patriots orders, without them knowing that he was in command once again? That seems like a HUGE oversight on their part, but I guess at that time, Zero was still alive and running things, as well as SIGINT and Para-Medic still being alive, so it's more feasible for three people to mess things up and miss that than a neural super-computer system... -- Ocelot youth 14:33, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
