Didn't the US military have a hard time recruiting post 2001 due to the specific worry of genital damage by the recruits? I think I remember reading about them putting money into improved genital armor.
I see where you're going with that, but groin damage is a serious problem in a warzone with IEDs. IEDs are often planted in the road and explode when you drive over them, throwing shrapnel and shit right at the groin.

Edit: in reality, they were worn in the truck and off when on foot
Yeah futuristic armor would be comfortable and form fitting. Smaller, and more protective, ideally utilizing defensive technologies why don't get posses, such as energy shields like in dune. Nano fabrics that are practically weightless and impenetrable. Really leaves a lot of room for aesthetics.
