I think your on target here except I don't believe Sergeant X was buddy.
This url will take you to the interesting Sergeant X page on Steve Foskett's
site which has reasons why Sergeant X was probably not a Glass at all. I
think he was Salinger not Buddy/Salinger.

had sybil, and he seemed to have great affection for her, but he
didn't let her innocence become contagious. I do think that
sometimes, we have that choice.

Sybil may be a seer like Seymour. Her name is that of an ancient seer and
she does spot a bananafish.
Sergeant X was saved by an act of love. Seymour in the story Bananafish has
an unloving wife totally different from himself and Sybil and Seymour on the
beach are just two unloved seers. Sybil's mom is off drinking but promises
to bring her the olive, sometimes it's hard for two hurting people to help
each other and sometimes two hurting folks are just right to save one
another. I guess the former holds true in this case.
