Military Diaries: reality tv from the front line

It's been coined "Milatainment" - entertainment programmes about the
military, which include the shows Military Diaries, American Fighter Pilot
and Profiles from the Front Line.

Crucially, Milatainment is being produced with the co-operation of the
Department of Defense, which is offering documentary makers unprecedented
access.

Military Diaries is a 13 episode documentary for music channel VH1. It
features personal stories from men and women on the front line talking about
the music they listen to away from home.
