Do I look like a fucking people person shirt

Do I look like a fucking people person shirt shot on location in the Philippines? After Coppola met with president Ferdinand Marcos about the project, the president loaned helicopter gunships to the production. During filming, Marcos had to recall the gunships for actual combat against a rebel army. As he spoke, it was kind of freaking me out. Here was a guy about my age, maybe younger, who had experienced things I couldn’t even imagine. I couldn’t relate to any of it and couldn’t even find the words to respond. I just let him talk, but I found it uncomfortable. As he talked, many things went through my mind. On behalf of my anti-war self, I felt a little disturbed by the enthusiastic way he was describing his experiences in war. I also felt that this would never be me because people like me go to college; they don’t join the Army or get drafted.
