Buddha and new best friends from the Iraqi National Police. The INP we are working with are motivated and aggressive. For a new unit, they are a lot more competent when they roll out than we thought they'd be. They are plagued by all the problems all Iraqi units suffer (primarily logistical in nature) but they maintain a positive attitude despite their often austere living and working conditions. They also love posing for pictures, to the extent that they'll stop in the middle of a firefight and say "hey, get one of me now!"Our INP brethren have taken a real shine to Buddha. They haven't realized, probably due to the language barrier, that we make Buddha wear the helmet even during down time. So that he doesn't hurt himself.
