Traditional martial arts are better mental training for military leadership. Civilians think of what they see in movies, which focus on heroes. The real military is all about teamwork, particularly hierarchical teams. MMA is lone wolf training, but it won't help lead a team.

Neither? I get the impression traditional military leadership is an intersection of politics and charisma mostly.

I have a lot of opinions about this: it my point is that the hard distinction between mma and tma is training philosophy at best, branding at worst
-
people in MMA or TMA are effective based upon how they train and how open their mindset is--but only to a point; no one is 100% effective in all contexts and situations but the techniques? basically the same, with flourishes/simplifications here and there

Reading about embodied cognition ATM so I’d say MMA as you get a visceral experience of one-to-one conflict. In stylised martial arts the opponent is abstracted. In MMA the opponent is there, both responsive and proactive, which forces and leads to better conflict modelling.

If you accept the Clausewitzian dictum that war reduces to the form of the duel, ie hand to hand combat, then only styles with randori (live sparring) will teach you about the reciprocity & dynamics of fighting. TMA almost never has randori. BJJ is the weapon of choice these days

This is assuming you mean leadership for operations (up to theater level). If you mean DoD politicking then probably a course in criminal accounting and a back-stabbing seminar would suffice.

I think that depends on the goals of the mental training, but overall I would probably say that traditional martial arts that have full sparring also included in them would be best. Judo is my pick.
