Who talks to Barack Obama about what to do in Afghanistan? Well, one voice on the campaign trail was young Army captain and veteran of the Afghan front, Craig Mullaney.   Number two in his class at West Point. A Rhodes Scholar. Chief of staff for President Obama’s Pentagon Transition Team. And, in his mid-20s, a platoon commander with the 10th Mountain Division on the Afghan-Pakistan border. Out where the rounds fly and comrades die.   You can listen to the interview by Tom Ashbrook here.
