Obviously, he thinks his role in this movie qualifies him for veteran status. .
I've long thought that Tom Cruise is a creepy self-absorbed weasel...this confession just reinforces it.
No doubt TO HIM his job is as hard as fighting in Afghanistan.

We should probably remember he's an ACTOR testifying in a child-custody hearing. He's lost his wife, sees her on the arm of various womanizers, is being denied total access to his daughter, and was stuck half-way across the world watching his life at home collapse. He's a child mentally....all actors are and he's prone to wild exaggerations like all actors are. No point dog-piling the aging pretty boy....he'll end up talking to himself in some mansion somewhere like they all do.

Difficulties and pain are very personal. Nothing hurts as much as what's hurting you. No difficulty is as hard to overcome as the one you are undergoing. The person who has to give up the Mercedes feels forced into a Chevy just as much as the person moving from a shack to a tent. Or, from a tent to a cardboard box. You really made his point for him. He was stuck half way across the world unable to do anything but watch his life collapse. It doesn't matter whether the reason he is halfway across the world because he's making a movie, or because he's fighting in Afghanistan. The reason for being halfway across the world is the same for both. They are both there because of a contractual obligation. One is a military contract, the other is a movie contract. Does it hurt more because it's a military contract? Probably not. The sense of loss and powerlessness is likely just about the same.
What Tom Cruise said makes him appear petty, he's comparing making movies to outright heroism. To him, though, it doesn't feel any different at all.
He, like most Hollywood nuts, have no concept of reality. They really have no clue.
Remember when Congress brought Sally Field and a couple actresses to appear before them, because they played parts in a movie depicting farming?
Never understood Hollywood or politicians, the egos are to far out there.
