Pentagon seeks new body armor upgrade for troops

The Pentagon is replacing body armor for U S troops in Afghanistan and Iraq to improve protection against stronger insurgent attacks. The upgrade, begun over a year ago, targets more than 500000 personnel including civilian workers and reporters, with heavier 18 pound plates designed to withstand tougher hits though delays persist due to material shortages.
