why didn't the 4 Navy Seals in Lone Survivor wear body armor?
Was it because of the distance they had to travel from the drop off point to their over watch position? I have always wondered that (no wearing of body armor) since reading the book and the number of times these men were shot as I couldn't figure out why.
Thank you.

I thought they were wearing kevlar tactical vests.. but if they weren't, its prob because of the following reasons.
1) Body armour weighs a lot, and with the mountainous terrain, it would have been tougher to move and slower.
2) Body armour is not very breathable, in the hot environment of Afghanistan, body armour can quickly leave soldiers prone to overheating.
2) they weren't really expecting heavy resistance
