I agree with the soldier, its unacceptable to have under-armoured vehicles going into a warzone. I can completely understand his point, and its a valid one. If unaddressed, this kind of thing can dangerously snowball, into morale issues which can then affect operational objectives, so the sooner it is addressed the better.
The problem, unfortunately, is a bureaucratic one. The shortcomings in the armor were discovered in the field under active duty. Not an ideal place to conduct Research & Development. Now that the problem has been identified, its going to take time to correct. In the meantime, all the soldiers can do is keep their fingers crossed, and wait.
