This constitutes 14 percent of all people who have been executed in this time period. As of November 10, seven veterans have been executed in 2025, which is 22 percent of all people executed or currently under death warrant. Some 200 veterans remain on death row today—approximately 10 percent of the death row population—despite veterans constituting only 6 percent of the overall population.
