Episode description as stored

Major Joshua Mast, a U.S. Marine Corps officer, gained attention for his efforts to adopt an Afghan war orphan. Mast initiated adoption proceedings for a baby girl found on an Afghan battlefield in 2019. His actions, motivated by a desire to ensure the child's safety, led to a complex legal battle involving the Department of Justice and the State Department. In October 2024, a military board substantiated misconduct allegations against Mast but declined to separate him from service. The board found that while Mast acted in a way “unbecoming an officer”, his actions did not warrant dismissal from the Marine Corps. Mast, now 41 and living in Hampstead, North Carolina with his wife Stephanie, continues to advocate for the child's well-being.
