And you don't think the CIA is hesitant to use children if they have certain worth's? Just because it says that they used him in his teenage years, doesn't say nothing at all if he already has been through accelerated aging.

And again, it makes no sense for Ishmael to be Solidus, why would they have Solidus watch Big Boss? How on earth is he watching him for 9 years since he was 3? I'm sorry but this is the most far stretched theory I have heard about Ishmael so far, it's just not possible.
