God knows we spend enough on the military to have that kind of money laying around. We currently spend over 600 billion on the military each year, we could probably cut that down a little bit so we can pay off our debt. Over a trillion dollars debt is generally bad.
You can't be debt free in a debt-based economy. All the money in supply was created out of loans (debt); loans that accumulate interest which has to be paid.

money supply = total loans

money supply < total loans and their interest

Someone will have to default on their loans by design.
