William Maynard was a colonel in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and presumed operative of the Central Intelligence Agency. He was also known as "Captain Real Estate" (because everywhere he went the real estate got "hot") and "The Sergeant" (who was responsible for getting heroin out of Vietnam during the final days of Saigon in body bags). He worked with General William Westmoreland, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and admired President Richard Nixon.
