He sees that soldiers are slaves of Nation States in service of Geopolitical goals so he creates a mercenary army free from any country, to fight for whoever regardless of ideology
This just makes soldiers slaves of the market and it's Geopolitical goals :think-mark: and when MSF got rich enough that they didn't have to take every mission, the soldiers just became pawns of Big Boss, Kaz, and Ocelot. Virtually no different than serving the US or the USSR, which they end up doing anyways.
A world where soldiers are free and will always have place? The only person remotely free in this new scenario is Big Boss!!!!! :think-mark:
kojipro really understands the ideologically incoherent warhorny mindset.
I think this is why I had such a hard time understanding the games as I played them. To understand characters' relationships to MSF you have to accept the deranged premise of MSF, which seems a little like getting your head around quantum field theory — you can't bring any metaphors to it, you just have to accept it. As a young thing my brain was unprepared for something that alien.
Now that I'm older, I understand that people can build their whole existence around an idea that doesn't stand up to a stiff breeze.
