Since neither of them were naturally born US citizens, what if Big Boss adopted them to get them into the states? Frank then returned with Big Boss to continue fighting in Africa. Now, it's always been assumed that Frank didn't know Big Boss was the leader of Outer Heaven, and didn't join his insurrection until Zanzibar Land. But if Outer Heaven was established in the late 80's, and Frank was fighting in Africa with Big Boss, then Frank could've known about it all along. Operation Intrude could have been a ruse to keep it a secret that Frank knew. Project Deception itself could refer to the fact that Big Boss somehow kept it a secret from the Patriots that he was behind Outer Heaven, and the fact that he has such a bond with Frank Jaeger and adopted him could be why he referred to him as "my son." Pretty good, but there's one small problem: Zero already knows Big Boss is in charge thanks to Peace Walker, and Cipher/The Patriots also already have control over the NRO, DIA, CSS, and NSA, going by what Paz/Pacifica was talking, and if we believe Ground Zeroes, they may even have some degree of influence over the UN (and that's not getting into their indirect manipulations of both the CIA and the KGB via Paz). Since they're growing overtime in power (as EVA stated in MGS4), and it is implied that they [Cipher/The Patriots] were responsible for XOF and whoever the force was that attacked the hospital in Phantom Pain, its extremely unlikely, if not downright impossible for Big Boss to have attempted the method he did in Metal Gear by regaining control of Outer Heaven. That, and considering how Zero also was strongly implied to have ordered Paz to frame MSF with a nuclear strike against the East Coast, I doubt he'd be that willing to trust Big Boss, or that foolish.
