The US does a lot that I don't think is represented in that number. For instance, the military aid that we render to foreign nations in time of natural catastrophes is second to none, particularly in terms of expediency, logistics and supplies. Haiti is the first thing that comes to mind, but there's tons more examples like Fukushima, South-East Asia in 2004, Pakistan in 2005, Myanmar in 2008, etc.


Don't forget the military aid to Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Somalia, Chile, Nicaragua, most of central America, etc... </sarcasm>
