Abstract
This paper examines the impact of veterans in congress during the 108th congress. Popular perceptions and some scholars argue that veterans vote differently and create different policies than non-veterans. The analysis tests this hypothesis during the 2003-2005 session of congress and finds that veterans generally vote differently than nonveterans but that on specific votes there is not a statistically significant difference.
