The poor do not eat military aid. America would have got more good will if they had spent that money on refurbishing Mulago Hospital's infrastructure. The poor would then have at least one fully equipped hospital in the country they could go to.
What a waste of tax-payer's dollars!

US To Give Uganda Sh400m Military Aid
UGANDA will receive US$200,000 (about sh400m) in military aid from the US following the non-surrender agreement the two governments signed last week, reports Jude Etyang.
President Yoweri Museveni, while on a visit to the US, signed the non-surrender pact with Secretary of State Collin Powell, exempting US soldiers on international combat assignments from prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Uganda like 63 other countries in the world which receive US military aid, had up to July 1 to sign the non-surrender pact or risk losing the aid.
Under the pact, Uganda and the US will not surrender their citizens wanted for war crimes to the ICC without consent.
