Million-Dollar Wound



A Million-Dollar Wound is military slang referring to a type of wound received in combat which is serious enough to get the person sent away from the fighting, but is not fatal, nor will it leave the person permanently crippled. This was referenced in the 1994 film Forrest Gump referring to Tom Hanks' character being shot in the buttocks and getting sent home from the Vietnam War.
