As said somewhere else on this forum, Zero sort of has that creepy stalker mentality towards BB, that if he can't have him no one can. What if Big Boss is defeated at the end, and Zero offers him command of his old unit, because he will do anything to get him back. Interesting idea. Although framing BB as a terrorist was an interesting way of saying "I miss you, come home". But Zero forcing Big Boss into rejoining him is a possibility. I mean, he preserves the guy's body after MG2 just because he's an icon for The Patriots and he has that weird creeper mentality about BB.

I think the idea was explored somewhere on this site, but it's likely buried deep in another thread.
