That evening he arrives at his new post; a run down mosque in the middle of the mountains.
As he switches over with the marine currently stationed there, he realises there is no clean water, no toilet, just him, his weapon, the insects, and a pile of straw on the floor as a bed.
The next morning he wakes up to find a queue of naked men being led into the mosque by a religious figure.
As the prayer finishes, the religious figure drops to his knees and swings his fist into the balls of each naked man, flooring them all as they cry in agony! The naked guy slowly comes to his senses and crawls out of the mosque.
Confused, the marine asks the mosque leader what was going on...
"These men are thieves, rapists and murderers from all over Afghanistan." He says, "Instead of prison, their punishment is to walk through the desert in nothing but their sandals, receive Allah's justice, then return home."
The marine returns to his post and continues to watch these unusual punishments.
After 6 long months of no proper bed, no clean water, no toilet and witnessing this unusual justice system, his replacement finally arrives.
"Hey, my last post was in Korea, how is it here?" asks the replacement. "And what's with this queue of naked guys in the middle of nowhere!?"
"Well, I'll be honest with you", replies the marine, "this a shit post, and what you're looking at here is a criminal punch line."
