Rationale

I propose to make new tag checkpoint=* for difference beetwen control points. It have reasons. Firstly there are many border checkpoints in the post-soviet countries and in many other countries. They are controlled by border quards and a border guards are the part of the military in most of countries. Because of this the tag checkpoint=* can be part of the military tags. Secondly in the war area many checkpoints that controlled by the military. This checkpoints are placed on the roads and military check your documents every time. When you ride on this road you'll be surprised by checkpoint if it'll no tagged. But we want to make safe maps, don't we?

Examples

Look here, and here, and maybe here for border checkpoints.

I think we don't need special examples for war checkpoints. They are just consist from beton blocks and military.

Tagging

Everything is very simple - we can use military_checkpoint=war for war checkpoints, and military_checkpoint=border for border checkpoints. For not important checkpoints we can use military_checkpoint=yes. Done. But it would need use military=checkpoint tag. !Warning! Do not tag war checkpoints in detail! It is illegal and too dangerous for your life!
