I mean... Sure there are major improvements that can be had in the US, but punishment and consequences as defined in Sharia law isn't exactly something that the US can simply adopt.

Three million dead due to the Afghanistan war alone wasn't brutal enough for you?

The systematic, institutional rape and torture of men, women, and children in Abu Ghraib was more brutal than anything defined in Sharia law but we still pretend that the occupation was clean.

the US didn’t go to Afghanistan to combat the opium trade. thanks for the false equivalence, though.
