Um, and why is lacking a magnetic field supposed to damage the ozone layer? If anything high energy radiation will generate more of it.

Without a magnetic field, solar winds literally blow your upper atmosphere away. If Mars hadn't lost its magnetic field, it would still have enough atmosphere to support liquid water and (possibly) life.
