DENVER — Two veterans who advocate for injured or mentally ill soldiers filed a lawsuit saying they have been illegally barred from Fort Carson.
The lawsuit, filed in Denver federal court, says Robert Alvarez and Andrew Pogany were told in November 2012 their presence disrupted "good order and discipline" on the post. They say they were given no specifics.
The men said they had been on Fort Carson several times before the ban and had experienced no problems.
Alvarez and Pogany said Fort Carson later falsely accused them of physically interfering in a personnel proceeding and of coaching a soldier to fake mental illness.
The lawsuit was filed Monday in Denver federal court. Officials at Fort Carson, an infantry post outside Colorado Springs, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
