Quote from Ray Clark's book: Buddha’s best buddy was a slightly built, dark-headed, dark-eyed, mustachioed young man named White. But to his friends and everyone else in the troop, he was Snidely T. Whiplash. Snidely was always giving Buddha hell about Buddha’s increasing body count. He swore to Buddha’s face that Buddha was making up half his reported kills. Snidely was not to be overlooked himself. He was a platoon leader for one simple reason—he was good. He was real good.
