The only problem with the theory is I think they show Big Boss's face when he's talking to Ishmael, of course with Kojima that doesn't mean anything. The reason the theory was started about him being in Big Boss's head is Kojima has announced this story will be much darker then the other games and the main characer dealing with PTSD is defintly a darker topic that isn't seen in a lot of media. Also Ishmael has yet to be shown anytime after the hospital and there's one scene where he appears to be set on fire then a scene is shown later where he's not singed or anything. None of this is definite but it does suggest the possiablity Ishmael is all in Big Boss's head, we don't know much about him before virtious mission maybe this is a way of giving him more of a past by saying growing up or something he was a big fan of the book. Also Hideo said the third person in the video about boss falling into the coma is suppoesed to be him, Hideo.
