Lieutenant General Clyde A. Vaughn, please use the word “peckerwood” in a sentence:

Lt. Gen. Clyde A. Vaughn, former director of the Army National Guard, defended the recruiting program as necessary and effective, but acknowledged that he was unaware of the abuses at the time. “I told them: We got to catch the first peckerwoods to get out here and mess thing up for everybody…”

Thank you, General.
