> Early in 1978, the diagnosis term "post-traumatic stress disorder" was first recommended in a working group finding presented to the Committee of Reactive Disorder
> The addition of the term to the DSM-III was greatly influenced by the experiences and conditions of U.S. military veterans of the Vietnam War.
Ham-fisted a film as it was, First Blood w/ Sylvester Stallone really launched the term into the American consciousness and completely changed the perception and sympathy towards Vietnam veterans. The DVD commentary is arguably more interesting than the movie.
