Veteran supports nurse friend with care package of chewing tobacco, porn

Filed · 1550

DAVIDSONVILLE, Md. — To support his friend who is a nurse working during the COVID-19 pandemic, local veteran Drew McGann has been sending her care packages filled with chewing tobacco and pornography to keep her spirits up.

"She's out there working extra shifts and putting her health at risk to treat COVID patients. I know how hard that can be," he said. "Just like when I was in Afghanistan, she probably wants nothing more than to sit back, throw in a dip, and beat her dick to some good smut."

McGann added that, during his deployments, receiving care packages filled with protein powder and Listerine 4-packs filled with vodka dyed blue always helped him get through the tough times.
