I think he was referring to being separated from seeing his daughter for 14 months during his divorce and equating it to serving on deployment. Poor use of language. These guys (Actors) aren't the sharpest pencils in the box!! That is why they have jobs pretending to be somebody!!
I think TMZ just tried to make a big deal of nothing.
Snopes reported this:
Cruise [was] asked about his lawyer's equating of his absence from Suri to that of a soldier's absence from his family while fighting in Afghanistan.
"I didn't hear the Afghanistan [comment], but that's what it feels like, and certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal," Cruise [said].

My personal opinion of Tom Cruise is that he is a talented actor who seems to care about his customers (aka fans) and family. I would love to share a campfire with him and hear more about his life.
