Ismail Khan sharp as rocks, putting up a stiff resistance in Herat.
In late 2012, the Government of Afghanistan accused Ismail Khan of illegally distributing weapons to his supporters, accusing him of attempting to create disruption in the country. Ismail Khan stated Kabul can not protect distant parts of the country, and called on his supporters to take up arms and reactivate militias to defend the country against the Taliban.
Now he’s a national hero again.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
NY Times.
Kabul was not pleased, and Ismail Khan hasn’t held a Kabul government position since 2013.
The gun and militia control socialists desperately in love with centralized government are now writing beautiful articles about Ismail Khan, the Lion of Herat. They should instead spend some time studying the second amendment.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
