Actually they can "afford" armor, DoD just never ordered it. As far as why the Army is spending money on this, it is another tool for recruiting. And with the way the recruiting numbers are right now, they need all the recruiting tools they can get.

The money comes from the recruiting budget and it is a fenced funding track, meaning recruiting is all it can be spent on. I don't know how much the development of such video game would cost but I would imagine it is cheaper the an ad during the Super Bowl.
