I don't consider military funding in any way socialism by historical or dictionary definition

The difference between that and socialism is roughly the same as the difference between paying your debts and getting mugged.

How about if a gargage man dies while collecting garbage? Should his family be taken care of by the local government? Is that also not socialism?

Was that part of his employment benefits when the locality hired him to collect garbage?

No, they shouldn't be. I would only be ok with mililtary victims and if it was part of the defense budget.
