Veterans in the 117th Congress, by the numbers December 28, 2020 Newly elected members of the Congress participate in an orientation on Capitol Hill on Nov. 13, 2020. (Astrid Riecken/AP) When elected officials gather on Capitol Hill to formally convene the 117th Congress on Jan. 3, they’ll do so with 91 veterans among their ranks, the lowest total since at least World War II. The number of veterans in Congress has declined almost steadily since the mid-1970s, as the military shifted from an end strength of largely drafted individuals to an all-volunteer force. In 1973, nearly three in every four members of Congress had some type of military service. In 2021, it’ll be about one in every six members who have military experience.
