I'm in the U.S. Military and am from Georgia. I was falsely accused of using drugs. The MPs didn't really tell me much. I did not talk to them beyond being told what I was charged with (using drugs) and immediately got a lawyer, despite being totally innocent. The charges were later dropped for lack of evidence(since there isn't any since I didn't do anything).
Now I would like to pursue legal action(both under the UCMJ and civil law) against my accusers for damage to my reputation/mental health. Everyone now knows I was under investigation for drugs, and that alone has ruined my reputation. But the MPs won't tell me who accused me. Don't I have a right to know my accuser(s)? I have been told by another soldier involved in the situation who it was, but I don't have definitive proof, and I could easily get that from the MPs.
I think this would be a pretty straight forward case since someone said I did drugs with them and that is a complete lie and the MPs have their sworn statements.
