yeah, they give more than a few ships...
.....to totalitarian dictators, who use them to repress their own populations.
the army does that too, though.

When did the US Navy ever give a ship to a totalitarian dictator...? Sounds like someone is a little butthurt over something

whenever propping up a dictator furthers it's own interests...
egypt is the prime example, but it's not the only one.
for those that are unaware, egypt is the second largest recipient of american military "aid", which essentially means that we give them money to buy equipment from us. it's a legal loophole, basically. the only country that receives more "aid" from us than egypt is israel, and the things are related - in return for this "aid", egypt maintains it's peace treaty with israel.
it's billions of dollars, annually. that's a lot of ships.
