What if- by some chance, there could be life on Mars, Venus, Mercury, Titan (Saturn's moon), Jupiter's moons and maybe Pluto. How would the government and military of these countries be like?

Because they have evolved on different worlds with different enviroments they could be completely beyond our understanding and even not be immediately recognizable as being intelligent or even as being lifeforms.

Another Scenario that relates to this. WI in the late 2100's we discover life on some other planets/moons and the US or Russia sends colonials to other planets, and by the years 2200, these planets gain independence. There would be a mix of green aliens :) and humans.

I'd go with life on Europa, that's almost a certainty, with a possible on Mars. For Titan it's a maybe. Everywhere else is extremely unlikely (other than Earth of course).

It would revolutionize our view of extra-terrestrial life, if it appears many times in our own solar system, it would probably lead us to conclude that it arises everywhere it can. The Milky Way Galaxy and the Universe would be full of life.

I can just imagine an announcement at a Mars spaceport

"Ladies and Gentlemen, all passengers on Mars Airways Shuttle 400 in destination of Europa, boarding now at door 5"

or

"Visit Mars! Valles Marineris, Olympus Mons, Cydonia"

Maybe it would be likes Stephen Baxter's Manifold: Space?
