[Data-modeling] Military Unit

[Iain Sproat]

I second that.
Having had a look at the schema, I don't think Military unit really needs a
seperate type - a unit is itself an armed force which is a subdivision of a
larger armed force.  (In fact a lot of topics currently typed as 'armed
force' are actually units in our current definition, and a cleanup would be
required)
If Armed Force had a 'formed', 'disbanded' and 'size designation' (dated)
properties then the Military unit type is obsolete and we would be able to
use Armed Force in its place.
