Please keep in mind
It isn't
Thou shelt not kill
It is
Thou shelt not murder
There is a huge difference.

The difference in murder vs defense isn't that it's hatred or not. God hates wrongdoing, and there are plenty of verses where it talks about the wrath of God (wrath is a fierce anger.)
The difference is that the commandment was made to the populace not the soldiers.
Evidence of this is found in the story of Gideon. Many were called, but few were chosen. Those who drank the water straight from the river instead of cupping their hands were only 300 left that were the soldiers... everyone else got sent home.
Not everyone was called to be a soldier. Many would want to be the ones to bear that duty, but not everyone is chosen to do that task. A lot of times their sure death is more a hindrance and liability than a help through more numbers.
For an example someone could walk in your line of fire while you're taking a shot...you end up shooting your mate by accident, or the opposite... Your teammate doesn't see you because he wants to abate the target and doesn't watch his fire while you're passing by...

Does anyone here recall how the hand of God showed itself in the 6 day War?

You are trying to justify soldiers that they will inherit the kingdom of God

I don´t agree. I think a christian can not be a soldier and kill, but I think a christian can serve in civil defense/ medic saving of lives, fire brigades etc etc in war. I´m a conservative christian active in different christian denominations.
