Is this actually the way you have the save_unit function indented? You've
got everything indented under "if request.method == 'POST'" with nothing for
the GET case. It rather looks like from the "else" currently paired with
"if form.is_valid():" through the end of the funciton should be out-dented
one level. That way if form is not valid what will happen is that the form
annotated with error messages about what is incorrect will be re-displayed.
What is happening with the code you have posted is that the error-annotated
form is being tossed away and replaced with a new blank form. As it is,
though, I don't see how you are getting anything valid on a GET to begin
with, so I am not even sure this is the code you are actually running.
