Stan Goff is a writer, activist, and US Army veteran having served from 1970 to 1996. He is an Anti-imperialist activist, feminist, and socialist. He is the author of the blog Feral Scholar.
Here is his biography from the Huffington Post, to which he contributes:
Stan Goff is a retired Special Forces Master Sergeant. He is the author of three books; Hideous Dream - A Soldier’s Memoir of the US Invasion of Haiti (Soft Skull Press, 2000), Full Spectrum Disorder - The Military in the New American Century (Soft Skull Press, 2004), Sex & War, Energy War - Exterminism for the 21st Century, and My Year with the Liberals.
He is the former military affairs editor for From The Wilderness, and has written foreign policy analysis for Sanders Research Associates. He also occasionally writes for Truthdig.
He is a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), Veterans for Peace (VFP), and Military Families Speak Out (MFSO). His son is in the active duty army and has been deployed to Iraq four times. Goff is on the coordinating committee of the Bring Them Home Now! campaign, and advised Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) on organizational development. His website is called “Insurgent American.”
Have a listen to him speak in the lecture video below. It was delivered March 22, 2006 on the subject: “Is the US liberating Iraq”. I haven’t seen anybody else speak with the same honesty and authority on the real-world imperialist actions of the United States.
If you don’t have an hour and a half just listen to Sgt. Goff give advice to those who would consider joining the military.
