Out of uniform (no helmet in a combat-zone) and thus also unsafe, a silly scarf (also out of uniform) to appease idiots. So what happens if an IED hits or a mortar round or whatever, and this person gets injured or killed in a situation where wearing a helmet would have helped?
Also, someone who is injured because they were not wearing a helmet is unsafe to their squad-mates as they are unable to help others in combat and or now take two or three other people to recover their dumb-ass.
I have nothing but contempt for senior leadership that allows something like this to happen.

Wow, you've lost the plot dude.
That assumes Operation: USELESS DIRT has a plot.
Useless dirt has no real plot, but I am guessing she just pulled the helmet off and donned a scarf. And that seems fair enough.
You spotted it as well.
