According to Christians... would they go to heaven or hell ?

This prospect will make American Christians quite uncomfortable. They are caught between their desire to support the troops like good Americans and be good Christians like good Americans.
They will have to rationalize some explanation that does not make sense. They will have to betray one of their allegiances. Technically, the soldier would go to Hell, I suppose unless having the last rites given by a priest. Some silliness. It really doesn't matter. There is no way you can be a soldier and kill people and be a true Christian. They are HYPOCRITES THAT PREACH!!!

They would go to heaven. They have given their life in service to others. Their service may be protecting the innocents of war. It may be to remove someone in power who is making innocents suffer because of their faith. They protect the right to live without persecution of your race and faith. They try to bring to justice the war-mongers who decide it is their right to take the lives of innocents in the name of their faith or of their race. How could the Lord not look upon with favor when their lives have been cut short while doing the right thing. I know there may be those who are in the service who do not follow the order as it is decreed and in doing so has stepped beyond the laws of engagement, those should and will face their wrongs they have done. At that time if they have atoned for their wrongs and since lived a life honoring and doing right I believe they will be accepted into the fold of the Lord.
Just as we learn right from wrong, in the service we are told not to question an order, yet there "is the right" to question it if there is proof the one giving the order is mentally incompetent at the time or working under false information

The commandment is more like "Thou shalt not commit murder", its interpretation of kill no-one is false. If one takes that literally, then humans would not be permitted to eat, as eating involves the killing of plants and animals.
According to Christian theology, the commission of a single sin does not deprive one of salvation. All sin.
Then again, I'm not a Christian, and don't believe in heaven or hell. So, to answer your question, No.

the overwhelming majority do not. there are some idiots who could have been screened out. the U. S. protection stress could have extreme standards yet while they think of that they might separate a individual's protection stress occupation from who he's at residing house, they are ineffective incorrect. Drunkenness, drugs, fornication, adultery, preocupation with occult and the "darkish element" are merely a number of the failings that could desire to immediately kick one out of the protection stress. you're saying "yet then we does not have many people left". I assure you that fewer those with greater ethical standards might desire to realize a stunning purchase greater effective than having idiots like this tarnish popularity of lots of effective squaddies with their evil deeds. What i think in, won't in any respect take place unfortunatelly. Oh and all that coaching from islamweb... is a team of enemy propaganda and Reuters is an arm of the islamonazi gadget.

only Christian American soldiers get rewarded with Heaven despite the killings they perform. all others end up in Hell writhing in eternal teeth gnashing agony.
except, of course, those Islamic insurgents and terrorists who are martyred in the name of Allah. they go to Muslim Paradise.

Most people believe that war is a by on the "Thou shall not kill" commandment. If the early Catholics believed otherwise, they never would've started the crusades.

I don't know. Nor do I know if an abortionist goes to hell if he/she dies just after killing an unborn baby.
At the end of the day, who really knows? Though if I had to choose one here, my money would be on the abortionist.

Heaven. Christians do not lose their salvation for sinning. We sin constantly. If that was the case, we'd always ve worried about going to hell.
Only Arminian, Reform, and Catholic blasphemers believe one can lose their salvation.
