You would think they would want to go and kill.

The type of personality that serial killers have is not exactly conductive to discipline and good order; most serial killers who served either had extremely mundane service in times of peace or in non-combat roles, or they had their service cut short because of psychiatric or disciplinary issues.
Besides, there's a difference between killing unarmed people who either can't defend themselves or can be overpowered, and killing armed men in the middle of a firefight. These guys are cowards, they don't want to actually risk life and limb to kill.

Yes, violent criminals are predators: they seek easy kills. They are not attacking to test their own combat prowess, they kill for pleasure and seek the easiest and most risk free opportunities possible. The moment they feel like there is a chance of being killed themselves, they'd flee that very moment.

A lot of killers seem to kill for a sexual reason, which is hard to satisfy during a battle or something with bullets going around and your fellow soldiers watching you.

The egotism and self-importance would counter than I'd say. I'd bet a lot of potential serial killers fall into that "If a DS yelled at me I'd punch him" boat.
The killing isn't the point per se, its about having power over another person.
