SGT. Carrol is the one wearing the helmet Aiki.

The wording threw me off. It says Sgt so and so pointed out, the only one I see pointing is the dude with the hat on.

The Sergeant in question appears in 2 photos. In the 1st photo he is standing in the back hatch of an M113 with a helmet on, and the 2nd photo has him with a soft hat on.

RIP.

Looks like Australia honors its servicemen. Is that really the case?

We certainly do. It doesn't matter who they are or what circumstances lead to their deaths, they are all honoured. It stems from the ANZAC tradition and the respect it generates for servicemen within the Australian community.

here too by certain people, unless it's at a time they need votes.

BTW that is SIG (Signaller) McCarthy not SGT
