Thousand-yard stare : ウィキペディア英語版 | Thousand-yard stare
The thousand-yard stare or two-thousand-yard stare is a phrase coined to describe the limp, blank, unfocused gaze of a battle-weary soldier, but the symptom it describes may also be found among victims of other types of trauma. A characteristic of shell shock, the despondent stare reflects dissociation from trauma. The thousand-yard stare is thus often seen in cases of incipient post-traumatic stress disorder. It does not necessarily indicate PTSD, however, nor will it always appear in persons who will later develop PTSD. ==Origin== The phrase was popularized after ''Life'' magazine published the painting ''Marines Call It That 2,000 Yard Stare'' by World War II artist and correspondent Tom Lea,〔''Life'' magazine, 6/11/1945, p. 65. (link )〕 although the painting was not referred to with that title in the 1945 magazine article. The painting, a 1944 portrait of a Marine at the Battle of Peleliu, is now held by the United States Army Center of Military History in Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, D.C.〔Jones, James, and Tom Lea (illustration), (1975). - ("Two-Thousand-Yard Stare" ). - ''WW II''. - (c/o Military History Network). - Grosset and Dunlap. - pp.113,116. - ISBN 0-448-11896-3〕 About the real-life Marine who was his subject, Lea said: When recounting his arrival in Vietnam in 1965, then-Corporal Joe Houle said he saw no emotion in the eyes of his new squad: "The look in their eyes was like the life was sucked out of them." Later learning that the term for their condition was ''the 1,000-yard stare'', Houle said, "After I lost my first friend, I felt it was best to be detached."
