Just to provide a bit of balance here, I don't doubt that most ex military pilots are highly capable and very switched on. That said, some of the most difficult, headstrong, awkward people I have ever flown with are ex military. Some of them just seem unable to let go of their military ways and run the day essentially as a single pilot operation with little or no CRM on display. I can think of a few choice examples in the easyjet training department which were notorious amongst the first officer community whilst I was there.

Flown with some absolutely fab ex mil people too of course. Point is, just because you flew a fast jet once upon a time doesn't mean you'll be well suited to a multi crew commercial operation.

Surely it's the same for integrated/modular. You'll get good and bad from both... Unfortunately however the one thing you can't escape is that these days your chances of employment with the major airlines are greater if you choose to go integrated.
