He's punished because he is living down the guilt of big boss losing all of his men, paz, chico, and having to become the bad guy to the world.
>but he's just the medic.
The player doesn't know that 'til the end.
When kief says I'm big boss and so can you, that's when punished makes the transition to Big Boss
>but big boss isn't a bad guy, he's a good guy and does lots of good things
And is painted as a bad guy, also he pretty much sets the stage for the whole solid series which puts the world in all kinds of deep shit.
