You very rarely see depictions of soldiers wearing bullet resistant face masks. I understand that these only protect from small caliber weapons but wouldn’t you take all the protection you could get?

You take all the protection you can carry while still staying mobile and that is always going to be much less than you want. Shit’s heavy and bulky and you still have to be able to run, crawl, get in and out of tight spaces etc. You need to prioritize because every gram counts when you have to lug it along a warzone and every piece on you restricts your motion and visibility. If you turtle up like you were in a bomb squad your ability to actually fight is zero.
A facemask is just a poor tradeoff for your typical soldier.
