This one ??

A U.S. Army Special Forces soldier armed with a stick takes the
offensive against a potentially subversive Colombian cow.

That would be the one. Now that the FARC has been largely pushed back into its traditional strongholds, NDD is looking for sleepers left behind.

LOL - we actually had a very similar situation not too long ago. Cow on the range. Navy dude throw a bang - zero results. I was waaay up the hill yelling "Twist her tail!". Well, they did, and she ran right over them - looked like a bowling ball hitting pins. LOL.

I know that town and the base very well. Worked up there in '96-'97. The troops couldn't go into the town for the ambushes. If they had to go for some reason, they mounted up at least a company in armored vehicles and 'trolled in. Very bad AO in its day.
