I'm on about the book.

It's militaristic but it isn't fascism.

doubt

Heinlein was a fascist, full stop. Verhoeven didn't even finish the book before he directed the movie because he hated the fascist ideology in it and tried to satirize it in the movie but both the actors involved and a lot of audience members missed the satire.
