Why Body Armor is a Good Idea(tm)

We all complain about our body armor...its heavy, its hot, it chafes, its uncomfortable...but then, we complaing about everything. But we wear it.

This video, Jack Army, shot by insurgent snipers and subsequently captured by coalition troops shows why, when it all drops in the pot, we love our body armor.

NOTE: What the sniper is saying, Allahu akhbar, translates to God is Great.
