Douglas Gene Hoffman (born July 22, 1979) is a United States Army Officer and recipient of the Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart. In 2003 his infantry platoon was among the first to pioneer the use of silly string as an improvised tool for spotting potential bomb trip wires in Iraq[citation needed]. Although the tactic saw relatively limited use in combat operations it was later made popular by public media interest in late 2006.[1] After his release from the military in 2006, Hoffman modeled clothing for Ubawear Inc. and participated in their "Why Not Peace" program critical of the war in Iraq.[2] He has since returned to military service.
