It refers to people who have gone to war.

In Bush's illegal wars, there were two signature injuries: traumatic brain injury and genital damage. We ran a story several months back about soldiers coming back with their balls blown off who were super depressed they'd never be fathers.

The obvious solution is to quit sending guys to illegal wars where you can get your balls blown off, but that doesn't do much for the thousands of troops it already happened to.
