Looks like they're stone cold bigots who whould be kept separate from polite society for the rest of their lives.

Yes, you have to hold a newborn vertical and check for a "stepping" reflex. It's one of the neurological tests that are done. However, that wasn't it and the comments were deplorable.

I can't believe those women managed to get through any accredited nursing school. If they had, they'd never have videoed this horrid behavior nor posted it.

Good luck hanging onto those licenses, "ladies."

They were "junior enlisted corpsmen." Which means they probably don't have much more than a high school diploma. Their primary duties were probably to do things like change diapers and transporting newborns to their mom's room for a meal. Hopefully, they'll be spending some time scrubbing toilets in the brig. And, I sure as hell hope these little cretins never breed.

Yet another reason why humans will not survive the current mass extinction.

There are people who are exceptionally kind and generous and thoughtful, but the problem lies with the word "exceptional". A significant percentage of people are mean, selfish and ignorant. And I'm afraid there's not much hope that this will ever change.
