Call of Duty’s Military Adviser Calls Out Xbox LIVE’s “Little B*stards”

If there is one thing you probably don’t want to do, it’s upset a military man.

Unfortunately, that seems to be precisely what some foul-mouthed young tots have done to war hero, U.S. military adviser, and consultant for Call Of Duty: Black Ops, Hank Keirsey. In addition to Treyarch’s latest, Keirsey has also had a hand in Call of Duty 3 and Modern Warfare, making him not only familiar with the games, but those who play them as well.

“The reason I chose to go with [Treyarch] was because I did think they were doing a useful service besides making a good game,” he explained to CVG.

“When I played the original Call of Duty, after being a soldier, I screwed up a couple things. I know to check corners and when someone jumps out I was kicking myself. It was sufficient and realistic enough that it gave me the damn willies. I was waking up in the middle of the night thinking I could do much better.”

And with that, Keirsey practiced. But, there are just some things which all the practice in the world cannot prepare you for when you log on to Xbox LIVE (or other comparable services):

“Then you’re pissed off in multiplayer when some 12-year-old is kicking your ass. You think: ‘I do this for a living you little b*stard.’ I’m going to crawl down your basement hatch and I’ll find you, you little…”

CVG noted that they might be a little more respectful if they knew who they were dealing with. Somehow, we doubt that, and it appears Keirsey is equally skeptical, as he continued:

“I know where you live you little b*stard. Use all the expletives you want; when I show up you’re going to have a big bar of soap in your mouth and boot up your ass. You little b*stard.”

CVG notes that “It was pretty evident to us that Hank was joking,” adding that he probably has better things to do in his spare time than re-enact the closing scene of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (better? Really? We doubt that, too). It’s too bad, since that sort of scare might be just what some of the unsupervised youngsters need to help whip them into shape.
