Over the past few months, Capt. Nate Rawlings has been answering listeners' questions from Iraq. He talks to Madeleine Brand, from a cell phone on a rooftop in Baghdad, about why he feels it's important for people to vote, what he thinks of the presidential candidates' Iraq policies and how to deal with young soldiers who would rather be partying.
Rawlings also breaks down what it was like to be sick in the combat zone and his diplomatic response to a listener who accused him of trying to "force democracy on the people."
