I think flap T is very similar to our Spanish single "r" when it's between vowels (phoneme /?/). I just pronounce this /?/ with a quick movement of my tongue, like tapping the roof of my? mouth.

Good ear. That is a True T b/c of the syllable -- it begins a syllable with secondary? stress, and any time the T is beginning a stressed (even secondarily stressed) syllable, it's a True T (like 'attend').

I was? thinking about the word "military" as an exception for the flap T between vowels. Am I right?

It's not incorrect, but in America it won't sound quite right. I believe in the UK they always use a True? T.

Yes, both of those? words will usually have the Flap T when spoken by Americans. Flap T sounds just like the R in some languages, so depending on your native language, you're exactly right.
