Alfrays wrote: I find it ambiguous: "but LET was the last straw" that means that Snake may have left because they have just thought the project. Cloning occours using the DNA that can be took from hair or the skin, nothing of sexual, so it can't be related to a rape. And in any case i find it a poor excuse to avoid any kind of reference. Besides, miller says "already two? i wonder how bla bla" that for me means that the fact that 2 children were born is a new, to anyone, expecially for Snake that have to "respond" to this, that mean that he didn't know it before. No, but it was taking DNA and using it to clone him without his knowledge or consent, which is close enough (since the entire point of sex is reproduction). And no, the statement is not ambiguous: "But Les Enfants Terribles proved to be the final straw for Zero and Big Boss. Determined to oppose Zero and his plans, Big Boss broke away from the Patriots. He left the States, created his own mercenary company, and drifted around the world. I'm sorry... Your father never wanted you. Human life isn't meant to be manipulated like that. I knew that."

This last bit is especially clear, as it made very clear that Big Boss knew about Solid Snake, and rejected him and presumably the other LET clones (ie, Liquid and Solidus). Had it been simply that he didn't know of their existence, EVA would have said "I'm sorry... Your father never knew about you. Human life isn't meant to be manipulated like that. I knew that."
