The charge that the American government is in any way fascist is just nonsense.

The US has interests and allies all over the world. That fact provides plenty of justification for a large sophisticated military force. Whether the current size and deployment of our armed forces is justified or not is something that reasonable people can disagree about, but it isn't an issue of fascism or coercing Americans to support the military (at least not beyond the point that taxation involves coercion and so any government activity is supported by coercion.)
