Were you married in 2016? Did you file a return by yourself?

Everyone has to pay taxes if they make over a certain amount. How is being a retired vet not required to pay taxes? What income does he get? Any 1099R forms? Any SS on SSA-1099?

Does he get Veteran's Administration disabilty? Or a military pension reported on a 1099R? Do you mean you got divorced but his information is still showing up because you transferred info from a 2016 joint return to your own 2017 return?

"His SSN attached" Do you mean that his Social Security benefits were garnished for back taxes? Did you file a 2016 Joint return, and did you have your income that year?

Were you married on Dec 31 of the tax year? (I presume we're talking about the 2016 tax year here.) Was he retired for the entire tax year?

Military retirement pay is not exempt from federal taxes. A return is required to be filed if any pay is received from DFAS and thusly reported to the recipient on a 1099-R. If the vet receives disability pay, that comes from the Veterans Administration and is not taxable or reportable on any tax return. So if the vet was not declared 100% disabled and they were paid more than $6300 in retirement pay in 2016 ($6,350 for 2017) then they are required to report that income to the IRS on a tax return.

Note that the filing threshold amount applies to the household income when filing joint - not the individual income.
