They're different.

Military people are taught to do as they are told, no matter how stupid or suicidal it seems. Sometimes it is. They are expected to do it even if it is suicidal. They are trained to believe that they are invincible and their equipment is superior.
They are also taught to fly.
Civilian pilots are taught to fly in a safe manner, and avoid the dangerous situations. Sometimes they even use their own initiative.
