I know this won't be popular but I gotta agree with Maverick on this. I mean there is nothing worse than when the caterer runs out of SmartWater. What kind of animal thinks Aquafina is an acceptable substitute! And don't get me started if they forget to cut the crust off my little sandwiches....war and movie making is Hell!!

The dude is absolutely clueless on this subject & he insults everyone who has been there with his comment.

Tom Cruise never said any such thing.


The comments were made during his divorce deposition and they are aren't even close to what "Fox News" quoted.  Wow, that's a shocker that Fox News reports blatant lies.  Who woulda thunkit?



The comments come in a section of the deposition where Cruise is being asked about time he has spent away from daughter Suri, either because of film or other commitments.

"Now your counsel has publicly equated your absence from Suri for these extended periods of time as being analogous to someone fighting in Afghanistan," opposing counsel asks him. "Are you aware of that?"

"I didn't hear the Afghanistan," Cruise replies. "That's what it feels like and certainly on this last movie it was brutal. it was brutal."

"Do you believe that the situations are the same?" Cruise is asked.

"Oh come on," Cruise says, "you know, we're making a movie."

Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields, tells CNN in a statement, "Headlines stating he equated his job with those in the military are demonstrably false. They are a distortion of what is provable and on the record."

"Tom is a staunch supporter of our troops and does not feel that making a movie is even remotely comparable to fighting in Afghanistan and said so in plain English," Fields said.

C'mon people, stop believing everything you hear in the American media.  Use some common sense and do some independent  investigation first instead of passing this trash along as gospel.

It's easier to find stuff that fits into your way of thinking and just take it at face value than it is to try and think for yourself or find the truth.

If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.

Now shaddup, you're nothing but a full on drone for this administration.

Cruise never said it. It was a BS story hatched for full tilt Veterans Day outrage. And the sheeple bit. Just like they always do.
