David Petraeus gets big promotion in new ‘Call of Duty’ game

Even though disgraced former CIA director David Petraeus’ real career is over, his virtual career continues apace seeing as he is the Secretary of Defense in the new ‘Call of Duty’ video game which is expected to be the highest grossing game of all time.

Released today, the new game ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops II’ is set in 2025 where Petraeus commands a legion of terrorist killing drone aircraft under the command of a president who looks a lot like Hillary Clinton, video game blog Kotaku reported.

Petraeus does not play a big role in the game, and his mistress Paula Broadwell is nowhere to be found, but he is first introduced to gamers aboard an aircraft carrier called the USS Barack Obama.

Petraues and the Hillary Clinton look-a-like aren’t the only real-world people to appear in the game. Lt. Col. Oliver North, of Iran Contra fame, makes a cameo appearance and was a central military advisor to the game’s producers while imprisoned Panamanian general and convincted drug trafficker and money launderer Manuel Noriega also makes an appearance.
