Canadians love socialized healthcare they come down here to see specialists.
Americans hate socialism , but they love to praise their military which is complete gov't funded.
BTW Canada has multiple levels of healthcare.
Defense of the Country is not a private good or service, therefore funding the military is not socialism.
By definition, it is.
The military is a government-controlled entity that provides a service that benefits each and every citizen, and it is done by spending their collective wealth in the form of taxes.
You have a skewed definition of socialism that seems geared to say anything you want is socialism.
Socialism is the public control over distribution of private goods and services. Military Defense is not a private good or service.

Socialism:
a way of organizing a society in which major industries are owned and controlled by the government rather than by individual people and companies
The US Military is owned and controlled by the gov't and funded by the tax payers. Pretty darn close according to merriam-webster.
There are many different versions of socialism and ideals ,but the GOP is adamant about not using tax payers money for gov;t services because it doesn't work, but they drool over the military and how awesome it is.

Socialism is much more than the simple definition you provided.
