He didn't NEED to save the Outer Heaven Resistance at all, and if anything it would have actually been smart and even more dastardly to leave people to die on the battlefield if the going gets rough. It's not like he even needed to worry about his reputation anyhow, since his reputation was already tarnished with the end of the Outer Heaven Uprising when it was revealed he was playing both sides. That's what I'm trying to get at. They didn't need to have Black Collar be Kyle Schneider, for example, nor did they need to actually have him join Big Boss to repay him for saving his fellow resistance members. Just omit that, and keep in Big Boss's speech to Solid Snake and it wouldn't cause any particular conflict regarding morality. So saving resistance members/children, using their gratitude, then feeding them back on to the battlefiel to propagate endless warfare, is A-Ok, because he didn't NEED to... Right.
