Gedanken have you even read the email? Lee's fellow officer lied
to him that the OC had given permission for him to leave. Btw it
was not even Lee's duty in the first place... he was just covering
for someone else.
If you want to shoot someone at least have the guts to shoot the
right person. The one who lied, awol, and tried to bribe lee to
keep quiet... 
On the Friday however, LTA X called to inform me that he was
busy during the day, and if I could cover for him until the
evening. To this I agreed to do so. At about 1600 hours, I received
a call from LTA X, informing me that he was on the way and that
I could leave first, thought this would result in a time
where there would be no duty commander in camp, he informed me that
this had already be cleared with our OC. I therefore left
camp.
