Where did you hear that ridiculous story, jackass?Who pays for wars now? Borrow the money is the new mantra.
The federal inheritance tax has never, ever, ever come close to raising the kind of revenues needed to "pay for a war".
The tax has been on the books for a century now. During most of that time, it has contributed between 1% and 2% of total federal revenues. Currently it generates a measly 0.6%. Can you say "a drop in the bucket"?

The federal deficit has exploded because federal SPENDING has exploded, not because anyone was insufficiently taxed at death.
