Deprecate German Army

BUR #29477 has been rejected.

deprecate german_army

Another pointless umbrella tag created by one guy. This tag is basically used as a catchall tag for any "German-looking" soldiers, despite we already have plenty of tags for specific era of German military like Wehrmacht or Bundeswehr. So I think we should get rid of it.

Wouldn't it better to just deprecate? There's not too many posts and there's probably a few taggable concepts in there.

There's also the question of whether or not all the posts under the tag have a more specific German army tag, because if they don't, then you're just making those posts more unsearchable by accident with the BUR's approval.

deprecate german_army

At least, let's try this again. As previously stated we already have better tags.

Unlike generic country tags for other less-common real-world armed forces-related tags, Germany itself is used for obvious reference to its national identity and culture. Not for any mere depiction of the German Army).

If it doesn't wind up being deprecated all of the other German Army tags should imply it IMO.

I think this is a fair critique to make, and one World Funeral should consider. The Imperial German army tag is at least clear that it's for the German Empire, the rest are obscure to non-military nerds.

I'll propose these aliases. I didn't know whether to go with 'modern' or 'current' for the Bundeswehr, but I went with modern.
