They're not issued anymore. Most soldiers taking lighters to the field with them will bring disposable butane lighters. Quite a few do carry Zippos they purchase from the PX or BX. Still others, especially overseas, may purchase lighters of local manufacture. While stationed in Germany, I carried a truly windproof lighter that I traded with a German police officer for. It was battery operated and required no liquid or gas fuel.
Around WW2 when the US Army started to use them, consumer production stopped for a while so soldiers could get them.
You can't. That is the only reason for you to have a Zippo. If they let you carry a Zippo to school, they need to have their heads drilled for simples.
No, you can't. Diesel has much too high a flash point and won't ignite in a Zippo.
Absolutely not, you should only use Zippo Lighter fluid. If you're in a pinch, Ronson lighter fluid works too.
Not by the British Army, as they left Austria in 1955. The buildings are still standing and may be in use by the Austrian army.

Use can use any naptha lighter fluid in a Zippo. This may not be what you would identify as "normal," however; the more modern Bic lighter and many others use butane. Butane absolutely won't work in a Zippo. I'm not sure what would happen, but it could be anywhere from not working at all to a fiery explosion.
In normal disposable lighters like bic it is butane gas, in Zippo lighters you can use most liquid that lights with a spark, but most people just use zippo brand naptha fuel.
Yes. The Army tuba players use sousaphones when marching.
No, nail polish remover should not be used in a Zippo lighter. It typically contains acetone or other solvents that can damage the lighter's internal components and may pose a fire hazard. Zippo lighters are designed to use lighter fluid specifically formulated for optimal performance and safety. Always use the appropriate fuel for your Zippo to ensure proper functionality.
No, it is not recommended to use lamplight lamp oil in a Zippo lighter as it can cause damage to the lighter. Zippo lighters are designed to be used with Zippo lighter fluid or similar fuels specifically formulated for them. Using a different type of fuel can result in poor performance and potential safety hazards.
