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:

    Bonus points for “other armies don’t respect or understand us warriors because they’re controlled by weak, corrupt, conniving civilians who will throw your lives away for their devious political machinations, unlike me, a warrior who would never do that to my brothers”

    Pretty much what Liquid Snake said in MGS1. (He was trying to resurrect Big Boss's vision of an independent nation of mercenaries)
