Nope. Almost all US aid is in the form of military equipment, and , incidentally, 75% must be spent on US-made armaments. So it's more like aid to the US military-industrial complex.

All nations spend substantial sums of money on defense. If you don't need to spend n% of your GDP on defense (because someone else is paying for it) that is money in the pocket.
