ROFLMAO!!!............I guess it’s best to not fight a “gay” bull!.........
Bulls think of it as "The Running Of The Stupid People."
Someone told him the clubbers had his bucket. < /netgeek>
“”””Aficionados call it “The Running Of The Bulls.”

Good one!
We should put some bulls on the border!
An U.S. runner who identified himself only as L.L., 26 years old, is carried to an hospital after been gored by a Marques de Domeq's fighting bull on the running of the bulls during the San Fermin fiestas in Pamplona, northern Spain, Thursday, July 12, 2007. The fiestas 'Los San Fermines' held since 1591, attracts tens of thousands of foreign visitors each year for nine days of revelry, morning bull-runs and afternoon bullfights.

BS, I ran the bulls when I was in the air force in spain. LOL
My dad told me that when he was in the Air Force in Spain, 61-63, "running with the bulls" events were specifically made off limits for all U.S. Military personnel. The Air Force and Navy were tired of patching up guys who got gored.
Maybe the rule has been changed since then. If not, Larry Lenahan need not be in a hurry to buy new sets of oak leaves for all of his uniforms.
Look at it this way: if those bulls were not entertaining us that way, they would still be entertaining us as hamburgers.
Watching them get stabbed to death in a ring while slowly bleeding to death just causes me to cheer for the bull is all.
Nothing wrong with that. Nothing quite as beautiful as seeing a matador flung end over end in the air. LOL

I see that others have answered this, but I'll chime in - you can be, especially if it involves loss of service availibility (ie hospital time) and a medical bill paid by your Unka Sammy. But normally not. Servicepeople do occasionally do silly and dangerous things although I never did. And anyone who tells you otherwise is lying, and the photographs are lying too...
The festival all white and red the rocket bent on azure sky
The gate releases muscled dread, young men running death defy
Through narrow streets and cobbled way
The swift of feet the crowds dismay
Death on the run with shining horn
Bedecks a ton of Satan's scorn
Into arenas mulling mass
The fury of the bulls is plain
The festival of bulls will pass
But not the blooded cobble stain.

Well Done!!
Nature has a way of weeding out stupid people
Unfortunately humans have a way of protecting them and allowing them to continue to poison the gene pool.
We should leave them to nature
This is a photo of the goring. Warning: Pretty gruesome.
