RE: Taliban quote as U.S. forces and civilian personnel depart Afghanistan

Early on in the Afghan War I saw a report here on TV.

In it the leader of a small militia went to meet his local Taliban leader.
He basically said to him 'Listen you know I am on your side but the Americans are offering me a stack of money to fight for them but I'll be back once they leave'. Taliban guy said he thought that was very reasonable and that he is always welcome back.

There is a saying going back to British Empire days: 'You can always buy an Afghan but you can never own him.'
