Default Brick Veneer

1970s brick veneer house with numerous small cracks; on front porch pillars, front and side of exterior structure! Wood frame, house is in relative good condition overall. Question: Do these or can these cracks need a sealant? or are they minor normal deterioration? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You forgot to load the pictures and though the house structure is nice to know your question is about Pillars an you never told us the material or if they are supporting or decorative..

Without further info I would say they need to be tuck pointed assuming there is no structural remedy needed..
