I can't understand either why anyone would have a professional gripe against Burridge. He was playing away from home, but other than that, he seems to have been well-regarded. I recall one occasion a few years ago in the bar at Strike when, after a NATO exercise, the PMC tried to clear the bar for a 3-star sponsored official function and Burridge (with his DCinC/CAOC commander hat or something like that on) resisted this on behalf of the unsuitably-attired and inebriated NATO contingent from the bunker! More beers all round!
