There may be some Baptist groups which oppose military service. Most that I am aware of consider it honorable. Even among those who oppose it, only a portion would actually exclude someone from church membership over it.

I fall into the "most" category mentioned in Jalex's answer. It is indeed honorable to stand up for God and country. There will come a day when God will send a mighty army to the final battle of good and evil. If I am lucky enough to be one of His soldiers that day, I will proudly climb on my white horse and go praising God the whole way. I'll be begging to be one who will feed many birds that day. ( see Rev. 19) To serve in the army on Earth is training. I did serve and would again if I could.Anyone who serves now deserves all the honor and respect that we can give them, Amen. This answer is from a Baptist.

The problem is keeping them out. All too often they feel that military service is an opportunity for them to lead a crusade.

Christians are to be anywhere God wants His kingdom preached, and that includes the armed forces.
