Militainment is a word that consists of 'Military' and 'entertainment'. It is defined as either:
- a form of entertainment that features and celebrates the military
- a form of entertainment controlled by the military
The U.S. military in particular excels in the authorship of militainment, although the Russian military also has plans to produce their own TV channel.
The game America's Army is a compelling example of militainment because the game fits both definitions of militainment: it features and celebrates the U.S. Army, and is controlled by the U.S. Army as well.
The U.S. military lockdown on all media coverage of the Iraq invasion, too, is an example of militainment.
