Actually, maybe the Outer Heaven uprising was not that much of an uprising. Maybe the Patriots knew about it, and it was all part of their plan. Say, to create an ultimate soldier, for example. Aka Solid Snake. It may all have been a manipulation, just to put Snake against a "mentor", just like Naked Snake had to fight his beloved The Boss. It would make sense if that was the case at least. To recreate Big Boss, the perfect soldier, they needed more than the genes imo. It's kinda the same thing they did with Raiden later on.
