Just my thinking. But that will only level the playing field. Why should one side have an obviously unfair advantage? So that whatever cause you support can win? How would you like to be on the losing side?
But yes, it does suck for the soldiers. It always has.
For every new weapon, there is a new shield. If this uses a new technology or algorithm, its only a matter of time until it is reverse engineered. Hell, if I developed a new weapon I'd be sure I would ALSO develope a defense against it!
Also, remember the article uses the words "reported". I have lost count of the number of research papers I have read that promise the earth but when you get down to the actual work, its usually pretty limited or "proof of concept".

How many marine snipers will die because of... guns?! Let's get rid of that crap and revert back to fistfights!
