Can fireworks be used as anti-air weapons? Dumb military questions part 7

SUMMARY

“What happens in the U.S. Navy if a military member says he is quitting and immediately abandons ship. Will the Navy make an attempt to rescue him or just let him drown or get taken out by a shark?” Oh god there’s a lot to tackle …

"What happens in the U.S. Navy if a military member says he is quitting and immediately abandons ship. Will the Navy make an attempt to rescue him or just let him drown or get taken out by a shark?"

Oh god there's a lot to tackle here.

"I don't know. Don't they call the Coast Guard for that? Let the puddle pirates handle that," suggests U.S. Army vet Jennifer Campbell.

"In a real life zombie apocalypse, how well would the military hold up (if the virus was like the one shown in The Walking Dead)?"

"I've seen the show. They don't hold up well at all," U.S. Air Force vet Mark Harper declared. Millsap confirmed, "They'd all be dead."

Can fireworks be used as anti-air weapons, in other words can a fire work harm modern military aircraft?

"This sounds like ISIS is asking these questions," observed our token civilian, Megan Miller. Who has a point, actually.

Harper went on for awhile about fire worms? So now I'm wondering if he had access to some Top Secret project that the rest of us don't know about? ::shudder::

"How realistic is the air combat in Top Gun?"

"Top Gun is real so it's all real, right?" asked U.S. Air Force vet Tara Batesole. Yes, Tara. Top Gun is totally real. (No one destroy her dream, okay?)
