[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stealing a baby at a refugee camp is wild even for this country. The fact that the Marines are cool with this, and did nothing to punish Mast for taking the baby, despite saying he acted with conduct unbecoming to a Marine is even crazier.

Taking a baby in the country where you're not a citizen and refusing to return it, just makes others abroad more vulnerable to harm.[/quote]

The Masts are Evangelical Christian. They believe God wanted them to save this child from Afghanistan (and Hell, presumably). In fact they've gotten a lot of lobbying and support from Evangelical Christian networks, which is what made this sleazy adoption possible.

Mast is a military lawyer, so he knew what he was doing was against international law and knew he was misleading his chain of command and improperly using his position and influence. He knew that the VA court was his best chance because they rubber-stamp adoptions all the time, and he knows adoptions are seldom overturned in VA. He venue shopped to make it harder for the Afghan family to get their child back.

And the Marines didn't even slap him on the wrist.[/quote]
