Not at all. They don't believe in killing. Part of their religion in following the ten commandments. One of them is, "Thou shall not kill". In the original hebrew, it says "murder". Consequently, soldiers killed as required, they did not murder.
Yes, if they are in the military. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) who join the military understand that some types of killing can be justified, such as that done under direction of an officer in war.

Mormons would never kill a baby
Uhm...dude, where did you ever get that idea?!?! The Mormons would never kill...people shouldn't spread crap like that :( Everybody was against Mormons
They don't. That might be the opinion of a few Mormons, but not most Mormons. The Church itself has said nothing on the matter. Mormons are encouraged to form their own political opinions.
The Mormon War of 1858 was not between the Mormons, but between the Mormons (living in the territory of Deseret), and the US Army, sent to bring the Mormons into subjugation over their refusal to recognize the authority of an abusive, unelected, federally-appointed governor.
They didn't.
It would be impossible to know, since Mormons are not required to disclose their religion to the military, and service members are not required to disclose their military service to their church. Thousands upon thousands of Mormons have served in these wars, both for the United States military and for other nations.
Only in Missouri, and only prior to 1976. See related links.
The US victory in the Mexican-American war meant that the land (now Utah) that was occupied by the Mormons was now a part of the United States.
No official count is available to the public, but there have been many Mormons who have died in the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do serve in combat in the military and therefore are sometimes required to kill the enemy. This is a natural part of war. However, it is usually considered inappropriate to discuss such things with soldiers. Mormons believe that killing another human being in battle as required by your military position is an act of duty and defence which is acceptable and forgiven.
There are three events commonly referred to as the "Mormon War": The Missouri Mormon War took place in 1838 between the Mormons and their non-Mormon neighbors in northwest Missouri. The Mormons ended up leaving Missouri due to the hostility they faced, so I suppose you might say that the Missourians won. The Illinois Mormon War took place from 1844 to 1846 between the Mormons and their non-Mormon neighbors in western Illinois. The Mormons ended up leaving Illinois due to the hostility, so you might say that the Illinoisians won. The Utah Mormon War took place from 1857-1858 between the Mormons living in the Utah Territory and the United States Government. James Buchannan, the President of the US, had heard a false rumor that the Mormons were planning a rebellious uprising, and sent troops to Utah to stop it. The Mormons thought that the troops were being sent to destroy them. The Mormons did all they could to hinder the progress of the troops and then packed up and moved south out of the path of the army. Eventually, the 'war' was won by negotiation, the Mormons agreed to allow the troops to stay in the territory, and the troops agreed to leave them alone unless they posed a threat to the nation.
