It really means that the USA will give them goods in exchange for them being really nice neighbors with their border countrys. If they are a bad country...they don't get anymore of our tax dollars. That's the bilateral deal simplified.
The "goods" may be tanks, guns, and technology.
What you are supposed to think is....if we import your "fish" you have to import our "grain" as a free trade deal.
In any trade the USA will lose....We should quit being so nice.

Little confused by "military economic perspective". Usually, military decisions are not to directly influence the economy. Doing so is usually referred to Military Keynesianism (which is the theory that vast economic spending can have a positive effect upon a nation's GDP, employment rates and inflation.
The basis of an increase in GDP is simple, there is greater demand for resources and more is produced to support both the domestic and military demand.
There is usually a positive effect on unemployment rates because those who enroll in military service (16-25 year old males) have statistically the highest unemployment rate. Military service removes them from the work pool, hence lowering unemployment.
The effect on inflation is debatable. In wartime, many people develop different mentalities towards spending and how to use disposable income. Many consumers lower spending, others invest in T-Bills or other "patriotic" endeavors. The lower demand for good results in a general fall in prices (but at the same time supplies become more scarce, which counteracts the above).
I think your question needs more detail/explanation to fully answer.

Umm well..
Bilateral means only two countries are involved in the trade contract... which means it's not true free trade. Other countries that may be more efficient can't get in on the contract. So if the U.S. and Israel are in a bilateral trade agreement for military reasons it means they trust eachother with one another's precious oh so precious war equipment.. although there are other countries that could provide it to us for cheaper.. we aren't willing to take the risk.

What? That question was incoherent. I can't imagine how the other answerers were able to attempt to answer it.
