Quite frankly, her entire character and motivations didn't really make much sense to begin with. She claims people shouldn't act as weapons to kill each other, yet she has absolutely no qualms with nuking Groznyj Grad and Graniny Gorki late into the mission, something that, BTW, was rightfully treated as a very heinous act when Volgin did something similar with the Sokolov Design Bureau in the Virtuous Mission and a likely war crime?

Same with Ocelot. Then again, considering this is the same franchise that had Liquid allegedly having planned for Snake to activate REX all along despite clearly trying to kill him with the Hind earlier, all for the sake of a plot twist of his mimicking Master Miller, I've pretty much given up on making sense out of these things. Plot twists when done right can actually be good, but when they are done like this, it comes across as very poor writing. you really hate the Boss don't you? in every thread about her you inmediately go on to say how her ideals don't make sense After mulling things over, not to mention reading some GameFAQs commentary discussing her, I actually am inclined to agree that her motives don't really make any sense, especially when the "true will" in MGS4 didn't even match up with her words or actions in MGS3.
