I'm sorry but that seems impossible, let alone that he needs to be trained in the basics like every other child, he'd also would need to be trained in combat and the like, and all that combined with the supposed high accelerated aging just seems unlikely, it's too much to take in within just a decade.

And again, he claims to have been watching Big Boss for 9 years, which makes it even harder to accomplish all that. There's just too many implausibles for Ishmael to be Solidus. The clones have an IQ of 180. There are toddlers with lower IQs who've learned to read, write, understand basic vocab, do multiplication, and speak foreign languages. If children are capable of that in the real world, imagine what a child can do in a game where the same rules don't apply.

In Solidus's case, he'd be larger than children his age, and therefore more mobile. Making it possible for him to receive basic self defense lessons, possibly even CQC.
