That thousand-yard stare says it all. This is the PTSD Fish template — an ordinary SpongeBob background fish standing at his podium, except the whole underwater backdrop has been swapped for a war-movie flashback, helicopters and all.

Add your own top and bottom text and let the fish carry the joke.
