This is what actually happened in actual wars. In fact, the US nearly lost a carrier to this sort of shit. High command wanted to keep attacking faster than they could make new ammo and sent some bombs well past their expiration date. They bombs were leaking their stabilizers and many people raised concerns about it, but orders are orders.

According to Lieutenant R. R. "Rocky" Pratt, a naval aviator attached to VA-106,[15] the concern felt by Forrestal's ordnance handlers was striking, with many afraid to even handle the bombs; one officer wondered out loud if they would survive the shock of a catapult-assisted launch without spontaneously detonating, and others suggested they immediately jettison them.

Orders are orders in the end.
