No, it should not be capitalized except at the beginning of a sentence or in the name of a holiday since it is not a proper noun in and of itself. A veteran is a type of person, not a person's name.

Yes, "veteran" should be capitalized when referring to a current or former member of the armed forces. This is out of respect for their service and the sacrifices they have made.
