Change to Infobox: Military Person

Propose to change info card from using the template "Infobox Scientist" to Infobox: Military Person as it allows space for more information about military career and later works. Also, Infobox Scientist specifically states, "fields Principal fields of work (physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, &c) not occupation (physicist...engineer)" which this article currently does.
