Rather depends what you mean by "military" - most (old)
UK military headsets that I've seen (typically used by
ATC) have carbon-granule microphones, like old telephone
handsets, so you'd need some sort of amplifier to use
with a "normal" audio input.  They work by the carbon
varying its resistance as sound waves compress and
release it, so you need to pass a voltage through to
"read" the resistance.  That's the limit of my
knowledge, I'm afraid, so I can't help further than that
- sorry!
