A: It sounds like you’ve been through a very difficult and unfair situation. To seek justice and address these violations, it's crucial to gather all the documentation you have related to your detainment, the conditions you endured, and any communications or orders you received during that time.

Next, you should consider contacting a lawyer who specializes in military law and human rights violations. They can help you understand your rights, navigate the legal system, and possibly pursue compensation or other forms of redress for the treatment you experienced.

In addition, it might be helpful to reach out to organizations that support veterans and military personnel, as they often have resources and advocacy programs. Taking these steps can help ensure that your experiences are formally acknowledged and that any responsible parties are held accountable.
