Best Answer

This is an idiom referring to the expression of people who have been in a war. They seem to look through you and focus on something far away, so people say they are staring at something 1,000 miles off. It's the result of post-traumatic stress, where they're so stressed out from the horrible things they've had to watch that they just feel numb and have no expression.
