Every flight, every day, by the military is on a flight plan.


Even those flights on VFR MTRs?


Yes.


Then why are there IFR MTRs and VFR MTRs?


Are there IFR and VFR flight plans?


Yes, but our resident fighter pilot asserts:

Regardless, the flight plan type for the military is IFR.

If that were true, it prompts my questioning the need for VFR MTRs.

It is possible to fly on an IFR flight plan in VFR. VFR MTRs are
established because they cannot be flown in IMC (Instrument
Meterological Conditions, i.e. bad weather.) Low level routes are
usually VFR routes. The flight will still be conducted on an IFR
flight plan.

Are you dense or merely difficult?
