Sending aid should be sending technology, knowledge transfer, capital equipment, helping build infrastructure.. and despite Sinophobic western media, China has done this, while the US sends weapons, mosquito nets and food rations.

America's main exports are War & Culture. One way or the other, we will *aid* another country into being US.

Much of "foreign aid" winds up in the coffers of the US military industrial complex.

Well, you know why they have to use the euphemism. Most of the public actually thinks the US is giving things away, so it works.

If it is used to defend life and liberty then it is truly Aide

It's not you. There are Military Assistance programs but I don't think there are Military Aid programs in the sense of Foreign Aid. I audited FMS programs in the 80s and it was always assistance, not aid. Foreign Aid programs were different. Maybe things have changed.

It was the "Secuirity Assistance Accounting Center" at Lowery AFG in Colo... it was always "assistance"... maybe Aid sounds more charitable.. or kind.

It sounds reasonable unless your counties ills are caused by foreign tanks. Then those bandaides won't cure you until the tanks are done with you. If I have a need to defend myself, you can call it lollipops for all I care.
