That's not even going into the fact that they'll need hazmat suits to bypass the irradiated ground thanks to the NATO bombing destroying nuclear production materials. Wouldn't anyone who entered post-fallout Outer Heaven suffer a shortened lifespan? I'm no expert on the side effects of radioactive contamination, but I know the crews who entered Fukushima after the meltdown have a lowered life expectancy, despite wearing forms of protection. You'd need crews to dig for weeks, possibly months to find the location of Venom's body, all while being exposed to heavy amounts of radiation.

I doubt the Patriots care that much about the remains of Big Boss, when they already mapped his genome. If they really want to put a body in the ground to convince the world he's dead, they could just use another random medic for that.
