There was a small debate about whether a Christian could serve in the military if they refused to kill (keep in mind in ancient Rome the military was not just a war machine but it was also how bridges and roads were built, making it much more conceivable that you could be in the military in a noncombat role). But certainly Christians could be in the military only if they refused to kill.
