If you believe it is a sin or that killing is wrong then it would be. Yet we all realize, especially if we are connected to a soldier in a war, that it is sometimes necessary to kill. If they are a person of a religion, I expect that they can ask for forgiveness for what they do.
Still I wonder, for a Christian or another belief that decries killing...if you follow the concept of thou shall not kill, what part of that is not understood?

Not for the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). They all accept the Ten Commandments; the one about "Thou Shalt Not Kill" is a bad translation. It actually reads, "Do Not Commit Murder." This differentiates causing death for justifiable (defense) reasona and for non-justifiable reasons.

Lord Alvis killed for your sins. He was the holiest man to ever slap iron!

I agree with your second answer. There were many, many battles fought according to the Bible. My best answer would be to say to you that you'll have to depend on your personal convictions for this. What may be right for me, may be wrong for someone else. Best of luck to you.

according to the Christian religion, i'd say no. God commanded the israelites to kill in war.
and in the last day, many will die trying to fight god.
