Former Pentagon chief Robert Gates: Republicans’ grasp of national security is at a child’s level

“The level of dialogue on national security issues would embarrass a middle schooler,” Gates said of the Republican contenders at a Politico Playbook event in Washington on Monday . “People are out there making threats and promises that are totally unrealistic, totally unattainable.
