Nope. Serving in the military is not a sin. St. George served in the Christian killing Pagan legions of the Roman empire.

Christians are supposed to refrain from serving in heathen Armies.
If you look at all early church documents it tells believers to refrain from serving in the military and this is a result of their being under pagan/heathen control. This ban was eventually lifted when the Roman Empire became Christian.

I guess Christians can only serve when it's the Crusades...under the pope.
