...Hell, the moral of Revengence seems to be "Don't be too quick to choose violence lest you become a monster, but if you must choose violence, choose overwhelming violence."
But at the end of the day the goal of Snake and Raiden is to preserve peace and even Big Boss wanted peace at first before he realized just how severely he and The Boss got screwed and switched to "created a paradise for soldiers where we'll always have a purpose without getting screwed over and **** everyone else."
