And some who repeated the [hairstyle] violation were sent to military courts.
It’s a tale as old as time (probably).
A young boy is born into a family of proud Taliban heritage.

From a young age he develops a deep, deep hatred of western civilization and exposed skin.
He spends his childhood doing everything by the book.
He abides by Sharia Law.
Tortures his classmates until they admit that they’re gay.
Learns to make bombs out of sand.
Throws rocks at everybody he sees.
Has sex with goats in the privacy of his own home.
Convinces a comedian from Barstool that they’re actually pretty chill guys.
All the regular Taliban stuff.
As he gets older, he starts rubbing shoulders with the actual Taliban.
They assign him a few tasks.
They give him time for his beard to fully develop.
His dreams have been shattered.
He’ll never get 100 virgins in the afterlife.
Maybe a few virgins if he stays out of trouble.
But that’s not good enough anymore.
It maybe was for a minute there.
Based on this article, it sounds like the Taliban had gotten a bit lax with their rules.
They let a few hundred beardless betas slip through the cracks.
But the Taliban is tightening things up.
Leave the terrorism to the beards.
