I disagree. The ability to have a myriad of information as an individual soldier on the field could prove to be invaluable. Think about squad mates that get separated from groups. With technology like this you could see a top down map over your location what his/her position is and where you are relatively ala a Battlefield 3 or Modern Warfare 3 esque mini map. Also consider the ability to reduce friendly fire by being able to see exactly where an artillery strike is being painted and your relative position to that strike. These are just a few applications off the top of my head, but I think that augmented reality has the potential to dramatically aide the armed forces.
