But then how do both Boss and Kaz find their way to FOXHOUND? I know they've well and truly split paths by Metal Gear 2, but if they part ways during TPP, will they reconcile in FOXHOUND, or will they just kind of ignore each other? Maybe I'm missing something here. MG2 gave the impression that Miller joined FOXHOUND after the Outer Heaven Incident and that Solid Snake became acquainted with him for the first time while in Zanzibar Land. However, the MGS4 Database claimed Snake met Miller at FOXHOUND's training camp. If the two met immediately prior to Snake setting out for Zanzibar Land, I'd say Miller's split with Big Boss actually happens after MG1, but I don't know how that's going to play out.

Given the apparent revelations of both characters in TPP, I'd theorize that both Big Boss and Miller go to America and join FOXHOUND, in an attempt to atone for the past misdeeds they might have committed under Outer Heaven in TPP, but whereas Miller's intentions are genuine, Big Boss's are not, and it is this betrayal in MG1 that makes him regard Big Boss as a monster. I may be way off though, and that single line of dialogue in an optional radio call in MG2, may not even be acknowledged in TPP, given all the retcons since.
