[Data-modeling] Military Unit

[spencer kelly]

this is a really great schema,
maybe it could also be used to model weaponry, warboats, awarded-medals,
military strategies...

also, hmm.. could we maybe use a 'war' type?
i get how its being done now, and while i usually like it when people make
use of the event type, i think that the war-to-military conflict
relationship warrants its own typing maybe? as they share the 'why' data
about a war- so queries like how many military people are still alive from
ww2  are one step easier - speeches, protests are also 'events included' in
ww2 ... so maybe a 'war' type?
i dont know. thats a tough call. i like how currently we can say william
Ernest Staton participated in conflict -WW2 , if we dont know which exact
battles.
'included in event' is always a little vague.
so err, tricky one. what do others think about this issue?
