I don't think so necessarily because God knows that it's not that easy to be in the military and not kill an insurgent if you are in that situation. I'm not sure how he would handle that but I don't think you would automatically go to hell. I'm in the Army myself and I haven't been to Iraq yet and I hope I never have to go and kill anybody.

No: Human Goverment institutided after the Flood,Jesus went even farther and said if you Hate someone same as Murder.
Everyone has commited Murder By Proxy.The Young Man in Uniform Police or Soldier Has to take a life or maybe lay His down to some Killer.Your taxes and Mine pay their wages,I worked Military Air-Craft and there was people as Civilians drawing Tax Payer Money to build Air Craft to take out Killers.
They would bring up Lame Excuse ,I couldn"t Kill,The Lies
Man uses never cease to amaze Me.You as Man are to Protect-.Provide and Priest,for your family .God will hold You Responseable ,You are to use evey tool He has given You.The 45000000 Abortions ,Has put the Innocent Blood all over our Hands.By vote or not vote.We will stay the Guilty and Kill the Innocent.

That depends. By killing the insurgent, would a person in the military be serving their country, and quite possibly be protecting others? I say yes, so no, they wouldn't go to hell.
The Bible says "Thou shalt not MURDER." Two completely different things.
But really, only God is the judge of that.

Not necessarily. If you killed the insurgent and you had not accepted Christ as your personal Savior, you would go to hell.
If you did seriously accept Christ's sacrifice for you on the cross then you satisfied the requirement for heaven and you were going to heaven whether you killed the insurgent or not.

Hopefully, since I actually studied in school, I would never construct a sentence like that: "If you "was" in the military..."
Now - here's some advanced reading for you. It's in English - so read slowly:

If a frog had wings would he bump his but on logs. It is people like you that give non-Christians a bad name. You have no idea what you are talking about.

No, because there were many war stories recorded in the bible and God understands that one must defend themselves.
