A Doosh from way back.

A majority of the entertainment industry are a bunch of flag burning dooshes. Disrespectful towards the troops.

A few have class. I think Hanks is one.

Please, someone tell me he didn't actually say that. A misquote, out of context, drunken-stupor-crack-pipe-don't-remember.

Anything but anything other than actually having said it.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Is it so surprising that some actors / performers have a certain detachment from reality?  :)

I note that Fox doesn't actually quote Cruise saying anything about Afghanistan or fighting.

the quote was that it was his camp not him who said it was as hard as fighting a war to not see his daughter.

Well, Fox doesn't really quote anyone using the words "Afghanistan" and "fighting".

It was taken out of proportion. I read the actual deposition itself somewhere a few days ago. I don't remember where.
