Or job is, frankly, placing warheads on foreheads.

2015 _Buffalo News_ (Gusto Sec.) (May 21) 9 [Newspapers.com]: But the fact
is that with alienating, sickening accuracy, they're putting "warheads on
foreheads" across an ocean.

2025 Fmr. U.S. Rep. Denver Riggleman, _The Weekend_ (MSNBC) (Mar. 30): I
