The same thing happened to me in 1999, and it enrages me that DoD isn’t listening. Maybe Susan will make them listen! In my case there was much documentation, and a key witness (an officer and my Legal Council). I told this Marine officer about my Commander’s demand that I “do not make an Equal op complaint, request mast, contact channels in the Pentagon, etc or face Brig, Dishonorable discharge, etc”. He was shocked that the III MEF H&S Bn Commander admitted saying it, and further said: “this is why I am leaving the Marine Corps ASAP. *corrected I am in shock over the topic.

The kids have my last name. Our youngest has my wife's last name as his middle name. My wife says that the people who give her the hardest time about keeping her last name are other women, particularly older women, who took their husbands' last names. Hello JW!

You must be proud. Personal note: When I first talked with my girlfriend (now of 3 1/2 years) about getting married, she wanted to keep her last name. I was hurt at first, but now, I wouldn't want it any other way. I'm proud of her and her family name. I think it is cool you and your wife did a similar thing. Now, what last name do the kids get ...? Wow, I’m impressed by your wife’s accomplishments as well. You must be proud.

I studied her Abu Ghraib case when I was in law school. I also went to see her speak one time at some function in New York. She is a great public speaker and a brilliant and committed lawyer. She is also very courageous to take on big interests, such as Blackwater and the U.S. military. Who knew that you are married to the famous Susan Burke?
