For example, the Bush administration has been doing everything it can to hide the huge number of returning veterans who are severely wounded – 16,000 so far, including roughly 20% with serious brain and head injuries. So it is no surprise that its figure of $500 billion ignores the lifetime disability and healthcare costs that the government will have to pay for years to come.
例如，布什政府竭尽全力来掩盖身负重伤回国的老兵数目。目前为止，已经达到1万6千人，包括大约20％脑部以及头部受重伤的人。所以，5000亿美元的数字忽略了政府不得不在未来岁月中支付的余生残疾抚恤金以及医疗费用，也就不足为奇了。
