wounded soldiers
Hurt in combat
Wounded soldiers are military personnel who have been injured in combat or service.
The phrase appears literally in discussions of war casualties and medical care, but also functions as a metaphor for people damaged by difficult experiences: After the layoffs, the office was full of wounded soldiers.
In bartending, wounded soldiers are partially consumed drinks left behind by guests.
