This is going to be fun
Instead of just spouting off like you know what you are talking about, you should instead do a little research before pretending that
1) you know your history
2) the guy you are arguing with is a vegetable.
"During World War II the Government was again forced to borrow heavily in order to finance war with the Axis powers. By the end of the conflict Britain's debt exceeded 200 percent of GDP, as it had done after the end of the Napoleonic Wars.[4] Once again the US provided the major source of funds, this time via low-interest loans and also through the Lend Lease Act. Even at the end of the war Britain needed American financial assistance, and in 1945 Britain took a loan for $586 million (about £145 million at 1945 exchange rates), and in addition a further $3,750 million line of credit (about £930m at 1945 exchange rates). The debt was to be paid off in 50 annual repayments commencing in 1950. Some of these loans were only paid off in the early 21st century. On 31 December 2006, Britain made a final payment of about $83m (£45.5m) and thereby discharged the last of its war loans from the US.
By the end of WW2 Britain had amassed an immense debt of £21 billion. Much of this was held in foreign hands, with around £3.4 billion being owed overseas (mainly to creditors in the United States), a sum which represented around one third of annual GDP.[8]"

Look at the graph, then step back and ponder how embarrassed you must be. Also notice the large debt accumulated during the great depression. Then notice the spike from the start of WWII until the end of WWII. BTW, in case your faulty history books neglect it, WWII is an abreiviation of World War 2. Also, WWII started in the Fall of 39'.
Now, let's not get distracted. Your complaint is that we spend too much on the US Military, even though WWIII has started, and not a peep out of you about the enormous layers of departments and bureaucracies that suck up our nation's revenues.
OK, I'll start...how about we eliminate the Department of Education, HUD, HHS, DHS and IRS instead of a single cut from the military. Would that be acceptable to you?
