I've seen discussions rise about the identity of Skullface, the identity of Ishmael, but people rarely mentioned the FOX patch. Could that mean that Big Boss already became the leader of FOX unit by the events of Ground Zeroes? That could actually make a little bit of sense. Although it'd be nearly impossible for them to kiss and make up after the Patriots attempted to frame the MSF for a nuclear attack, there can be still a twist Kojima can make up. After all, he is the reason why we just can't sleep well. I'm almost certain that Big Boss kept using the FOX patch because of his emotional attachment to the organization; it's purely symbolic. In Ground Zeroes, he wears his standard sneaking suit from Peacewalker, with both patches; FOX and MSF. This was explained in PW, I believe. Didn't Kazuhira Miller work with the JSDF, though, even reference it a few times in Peace Walker? He didn't retain the logo for that organization on his uniform (believe me, I checked), even though he referenced his time at JSDF even more than Big Boss even referenced the FOX unit. Well, the character had just been reintroduced to us as Kazuhira Miller, instead of our more well known McDonell Miller; I suppose a more thorough background was in order. Also, I don't think Miller liked his time with JSDF that much, because he had to struggle hard to fit in and the organization still didn't recognize his hard work because they feared him or something along those lines. I don't think Big Boss particularly enjoyed his time in FOX, especially seeing how his first (and only) mission ith the group involved killing The Boss for an act of treason that he later discovered she never actually committed, yet he still had some emotional attachment for the FOX unit due to the FOX emblem on his MSF uniform. Heck, he barely even referenced his time in FOX, at least directly. I'm pretty sure Miller could at least do a JSDF patch for his uniform to signify that, at the very least, he did briefly work for the organization before joining MSF.

And I didn't even comment on Miller's prior background at all.

Well, about the presence of FOX's patch along the MSF's one in Big Boss's uniform, like I said earlier, it was explained in PW as an affection thing he had for it, but maybe the real reason behind it is that Kojima and Co just wanted to see their own logo (which is the same design, only with the company's name inscribed in it) sewn in Big Boss's suit.
