Karakov, seeing the ursine delegate for the first time, mistook him for an actual bear. So he did what any person would do when confronted with a bear in the middle of an international meeting; he tried to shoot him.
Lucky for all of us, Karakov is a lousy shot.

Most soldiers can't make a head shot under ideal conditions, much less in the bush. A red coat is a bad idea but a red beret isn't particularly dangerous. And it looks cool.
If you want to protect your head, wear a helmet, not a hat.

Bright fucking red when you've went to all the trouble of concealing yourself is a bad idea and that static depends on ranges and training. Also if the soldier can't hit the guy in the head it still makes it awfully easy to identify that get a more specialized role buddy that can.

This guy was shot three times in the head with 7.62x39mm rounds, and suffered nothing but a mild headache. So those who say helmets are for cowards are fools. Helmets also protect you against debris and from shock damage, for example the blast from a grenade.

When you see something red in the jungle, it's more likely to be a bird or a flower than a beret. If you shoot at everything red, you'll run out of ammunition pretty fast and you'll give your position away even faster.

You're optimistic. While you're bird-watching, somebody may have his sights on you. (Some units are fond of leaving scraps of red flannel hanging on tree branches as decoys.)
