Having worn body armour extensively for a few years (police armour, which weighs about 5 or 6 pounds) I can attest to it being uncomfortable. I only wore heavier 20 pound armour once for a couple of hours, and it sucked.
Having said that, if I was in Iraq or any other war zone, I'd be wearing it if I had access, regardless of how uncomfortable it can be.
