Kojima states himself that Solid is a monster that really has no feelings. BB on the other hand is more human, being more susceptible to feeling such and such. Let's discuss.

Solid Snake knew nothing but war. Beforehand, living in foster care would've probably made him maybe more introverted. He was forcefully conscripted to the military at 17 and was never allowed to have an outside job. War was literally all he knew and what he was good at. And everyone including Psycho Mantis said he was more evil than his brother. I believe that just comes from being put into war, and feeling alive on the battlefield was probably a coping mechanism to the horror of it.

Big Boss on the other hand willingly joined the military at 15. He then eventually turned his back on his country and started up FOX-Hound and etc. etc. He had also probably had never been in foster care. He even screwed up the Boss' will and turned it around all for revenge against Zero.

Basically, what I'm saying is this. Snake did what he did because he had to do it to survive. Big Boss did it because he wanted to. Solid never had a choice, whereas Big Boss always did. When I mean by choice, I mean military wise. So what do you think? Is Snake really a monster like Kojima says he is?
