Wearing armor is a good idea when you’re in a war zone. Many weapons such as artillery, rockets, grenades, etc aren’t very discriminate and could easily kill you whether or not anybody intended to hit you in particular.
If you wear normal-looking armor, then you tend to look like just another soldier. You could easily be targeted by either side. In battle, people tend to be scared and panicky, there isn’t always time to identify someone for certain, you could be presumed to be a threat and shot at just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. “Friendly fire” does happen more often than anyone wants to admit.
So it’s generally good to wear armor that’s very obviously Press armor, like different colors and everything. You’re generally not supposed to shoot at reporters on purpose, but not every side respects the rules all the time, and sometimes mistakes happen. Probably most of the time your odds of coming through it without major injuries are still higher than wearing unmarked or no armor, though there are no certainties.
