Does this apply to Armor of the Saints as well?

My suggestion, if it's not too late, would be to make sure that "light 
armor" is clearly defined in Wasted Warriors.  Forcefield and Armor of the 
Saint use the "mechanic" of light armor (i.e. subtraction from overall 
damage generated rather than an AV) but they're not literally "light armor" 
(i.e., -2/-4 light protection).  A forcefield that subtracts, say, 15 from 
damaging physical attacks has probably left the realm of "light armor" in 
most meaningful senses.  If you see what I mean...  :)
