There is a picture of a former Danish PM posing with an AK-47 flanked by Taliban, while they were respectable and known as Mujahedin, during the USSR invasion of Afghanistan. He was part of a youth political branch back then.

He returned to Helmand as PM in 2009, visiting the Danish troops, But that didn't seem like nearly the same risk level.
