General public? Not so much, I doubt Big Boss' career was exactly public, nor was he really that much of a public figure honestly, so we, civilians, would not recognize Big Boss in Solidus because we most likely have never seen Big Boss. Correct me if I'm mistaken, but didn't Big Boss's MG2 bio mention he made the headlines of various magazines during the 1970s-1990s? I'd find it very hard to believe the general public would not have at least heard of Big Boss if not seen him thanks to those? Not to mention Mei Ling wasn't even officially with the Military, yet she clearly heard of Solid Snake's exploits, which would have included his killing Big Boss in Zanzibar Land.
