I had the idea that he was super duper old, from something I read somewhere? I'm sorry im still looking for it but I would have thought he was just a little younger than Big Boss. He's not only 'immortal' because of his healing, it's because of the fact that he hasn't aged. Well, by the time MGS4 comes round the nanomachines are putting strain on his old ass body and haven't aged him in the usual way, just veins and odd coloured skin (it has a green-y/grey look to it, whereas in MGS2 he actually looked fine??), plus he's litterally begging to be killed, which probably means he's been so reckless with his body it's starting to feel the burn.

Also if you put his back story into historical context... And I'm not saying xenophobia and racism isn't still alive, but how traditional it all sounds makes it seem like it was in the 60s.

My source... God I can't rememeber?? Does this sound familiar to anyone it feels like a fever dream, I'm starting to wonder whether I made it up... Haha either way it seems pretty plausable, right?
