You know they do this as punishment as shown in the well publicized 2016 killing, and you are actually questioning if they are doing it?

“My friend was able to give me a play-by-play over the next 48 hours until he disappeared from the communications medium we were using,” Maloney related in a 900-word account of his Afghanistan observations for Legion Magazine.
“‘What else is happening,’ I asked him. The Taliban are skinning captured police alive before killing them. ‘How do you know?’ We can hear them die.
“My comfortable life in Canada, one that I thought I had earned from years of going back and forth to Afghanistan risking my existence in pursuit of my task, came crashing to a halt.”

In Spin Boldak, Kandahar, the Taliban massacred dozens of civilians in revenge killings. These murders could constitute war crimes; they must be investigated & those Taliban fighters or commanders responsible held accountable.

Do you seriously think that every revenge killing as part of a massacre is being performed as a merciful execution?
There's tweets from Afghanis who lost loved ones, including one from the Afghani woman I posted (her cousin was killed despite assurances from the Taliban).
Dead men tell no tales, as we say.
If we didn't have hundreds of phones showing people falling from the planes and going viral on social media, that would have been silenced by the media most likely and passed along as hearsay and fake news. The video of the 2 dead Afghanis shot dead at the airport was dismissed until the Pentagon confirmed the 2 killings.
People aren't rushing planes and falling to their deaths in despair because the Taliban is known to be merciful.
