Army chief Rick Burr's no fool. As well as time commanding the SAS and international Special Forces in Afghanistan, the boy from Renmark High (where he was a classmate of Social Services Minister Anne Ruston) has had postings in Canberra with the prime minister's department (when Kevin Rudd was PM) and in Hawaii (where he became the first ever non-American to be deputy commander of the US Army in the Pacific).
