Rick and the Military

Before the U.S. Army, Rick did a brief stint as a WWI Flying Ace. Fact:That war had been over for 50+ years.
Fact: Rick was 12 years old
Fact: Rather than the Maginot Line, this was suburban Rochester, NY.
Fact: The supposed "machine guns," though synchronized, were in fact nothing more than empty caulking tubes covered with aluminum foil.
Fact: Rick and his friends were successfully sued by Fokker aerospace for defaming the good name of Fokker with this travesty of aerodynamics.
Fact: Fokker. That's a funny name.
Fact: None of this seemed to bother either Rick or the German government.
Fact:Like most of Rick's schemes, this one never really got off the ground.
Fact: What a dork!
