Do we need exclusive uniform tags for named real-world militaries?

BUR #51561 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

create alias nva_uniform -> nationale_volksarmee

Almost all posts containing the tag Nationale Volksarmee refer to characters wearing the East German military uniforms. NVA itself sounds ambiguous and it could be mistaken as the former North Vietnamese Army by inexperienced users.

Related to previous topic #24385.

create alias ss_uniform -> waffen-ss

Let's try this again.

For similar reason we have Sturmabteilung but not SA_uniform.

this sounds fine since it's just a two tag search to find the military uniform and there isn't that many posts

btw if it passes don't forget to update the wikis to say it's okay to use the tag when just the uniform is present

well NVA for me was a reference to Vietnam War, better to joine the tags and reduce the confusion

deprecate swedish_uniform

We do not use any other (country_name)_uniform tags for a randomized, broad category of uniforms as well. Just why?

Then suggest tags for those posts.

The immediate rejection does not feel fair enough, knowing there are more upvotes.
Now I have just tried editing the Wiki by suggesting the existing alternatives. Feel free to suggest other ways.

I reject these BURs because otherwise they languish for months without being acted upon, and get autorejected because nobody puts in the work.

I'm going to point out that after the BUR was rejected, it got manually deprecated.

remove alias nva_uniform -> nationale_volksarmee

Given this, we should probably unalias it.
