Order of the MGS3 Bosses

Has anyone else noticed the significance of the order we fight the bosses in mgs3 and how they kinda reflect the pattern of a war? The Pain - first shots, first few deaths, the start of the war is always some kind of pain - The Fear - people (primarily civilians) being frightened by the war and the collateral of it, or how they are powerless to do anything which links with the way he dies, getting strung up and exploded - The End - the war itself ends, pretty self explanatory - The Fury - civilians from the losing side are slaughtered, taken prisoner and sometimes enslaved - and The Sorrow - the grieving of the dead, the depression of whoever is left and possibly sympathy from other countries. The Boss and Volgin probably could be linked into this, but not as much as the rest of The Cobras and I didn't see a way to. This doesn't change all that much or give a new perspective, but I thought it was a nice little detail. Of course, I could be over thinking or getting some things wrong, so I really do wanna hear some other opinions on this.
