There is no reason why not. There are many minor directors who have served, however, the vast majority of the famous ones have not. No big deal. The problem is that the 'arts' tend to attract a lot of people with no interest in the military. Which is why so many directors are complete ignoramuses when it comes to military accuracy. I know several minor directors (who have done TV episodes, or TV specials, etc. etc.) who have served in the military before. But having a military background doesn't make you a good director, or a good ACTION director specifically. Studios and producers look for guys with a good eye for that, not what they did in a previous career.
