Well first thing to note is that the terrorism in Pakistan is created and managed by the Pakistan military and their American masters............there is nothing spontaneous about terrorism in Pakistan.
Second, the bulk of the USA military aid to Pakistan is to buy equipment that are used against foes in conventional warfare.

US military aid better situates Pakistan to wage war against India: Expert
.
By Times of India

The
American military assistance to Pakistan, a latest list of which was
recently put out by the independent Congressional Research Service
(CRS), better situates its military to wage a war against India and not
to fight terrorists, a noted US expert on South Asia has said.
"This assistance better situates Pakistan to wage war against India
while doing nothing to shape Pakistan's will or capabilities to target
terrorists and insurgents," Christine Fair, author of several
well-researched books on Pakistan and its military wrote in a recent
article, days after the CRS in a report listed out the military hardware
including fighter jets that the US has given to Pakistan.
"The
items that Washington has conveyed to Pakistan have little utility in
fighting insurgents and terrorists; rather, they enable Pakistan to
better fight India, a democratic American partner that has long endured
Pakistani predations," Fair said.
A new American policy towards
Pakistan, rooted in sober realism, is long overdue, she argued in her
recent piece in National Interest.
Since 9/11, the United
States has lavished Pakistan with nearly $8 billion in security
assistance, $11 billion in economic assistance, and $13 billion in the
lucrative programme known as Coalition Support Funds (CSF), she said
referring to the CRS report.
Since then, Pakistan has availed
of significant US weapons systems and armaments, including: a used
Perry-class missile frigate; 18 new and 14 used nuclear-capable F-16s;
an array of munitions (i.e 500 air-to-air missiles, 1,450 2,000-pound
bombs); 1,600 kits that allow Pakistan to convert gravity bombs into
laser-guided smarter bombs, 2,007 anti-armor missiles, 100 Harpoon
anti-ship missiles, 500 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, seven naval
guns, 374 armored personnel carriers, and much more, she said.
A transfer of 15 reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles is also under way.
"This list suggests that Pakistan's insurgents have developed air, naval and ground-force capabilities," Fair said.
According to the US author, Washington provides Pakistan access to
these weapon systems even despite Pakistan's failures to comply with the
numerous conditionalities which the US Congress has emplaced upon such
assistance.
"Currently, the US provides this assistance under
various waivers. In doing so, Washington erodes its own credibility,
demeans its own laws, and rewards Pakistan for engaging in the very
activities that the United States seeks to curtail.
Worse,
given the fungibility of funds, the United States has subsidized
Pakistan's investment in its jihadi and nuclear capabilities," Fair
said.
