I've seen racism in Poland Russia and Ukraine

Never saw it in Moldova though

What's interesting enough is the fact that they UK was thinking about bringing back National Service.
I personally do not agree with this as nobody should be forced to enter the military which is another world.
If Robby is telling the truth I don't know.

I think the American military is good in that it offers people a chance to educate themselves.  A second chance.  I never saw this in the British Military.
If you serve in America I think at least they help you to go to College.
If I was a working class kid in the US I would definitely serve my time to be educated.

The general consensus is that Robbie is full of shit.

Robby's being mostly honest here, but in the book, he goes into it more. It wasn't just luck that put him in the Dominican Republic training, etc..... He did a lot of purposeful screwing up to help delay and cajole that outcome.
Title: Re: Robby Robinson on his military service
Post by: BB on August 01, 2024, 08:23:55 AM
Portions from the book dealing with it -

"After infantry and then advanced infantry training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, and now a Specialist Fourth Class, I decided to go on to paratrooper school at Fort Benning, Georgia. I figured more training time would prepare me better and delay my deployment. We were told it would be to either Vietnam or the Dominican Republic."

"If my strong conviction not to go to Vietnam wasn’t enough, while I was away, antiwar sentiments were starting to brew and demonstrations around the country were in the news. I realized that we soldiers would be looked down upon because of the Vietnam War.

This had a huge effect on me. I knew I was on my way to Vietnam and that I might very possibly die there, yet I wouldn’t even get respect for dying for my country. My respect and grief for the guys who lost their lives strengthened my commitment to myself and my survival. I felt it was me against the world and you don’t entrust anyone with your life, so when the day to report back to the base come up, I didn’t show. I knew it would only give me a couple days.

Refusing to go back after my leave time, I lost a stripe, and half a month’s pay as well as being given battalion clean-up duty and KP for a month. I didn’t regret it. I liked having a little more say over my fate. Returning late caused me to miss my group’s deployment to Vietnam, and I was sent to The Dominican Republic for a six-month non-combat tour of duty."

---------------------------------------

"Out on maneuvers, my job was a deuce mortar assistant gunner, setting elevations and dropping ammunition. Our only concern was an erratic round could fall short and take out your own men. I lost the hearing in my right ear as a result of my job. This didn’t get an early discharge for me, because when I was sent home from the Dominican, my time served was two-years and 20 days.

I had fulfilled by two-year draft requirement and couldn’t be sent to Vietnam. This left a bittersweet feeling in me. I felt lucky and relieved, but guilty that I’d slipped through while so many didn’t and lost their lives."

In my opinion any man who refused his call up is either a coward or a contuentious objectur.
Both are his choices.
If a man objects to service for a valid reason it's understandable.
I do not & will not put any man into a bracket.

Wait a minute: I read a story that he was the sole survivor of his platoon in Vietnam, and that he played dead while the VC stabbed bodies to ensure that they were dead.  This was supposedly how he got that scar on the front of his left thigh.

He wouldn't lie about that, would he?

How moronic. So you want to take orders from some greasy banker or instigator?! Don't you want to be the one giving the orders?! No way will I go fight a fake war for some political asshole or globalist instigator. The Vietnam War started because of a lie.

All those WW1 soldiers - young white men -  died in a ditch with rats, piss, shit all around them. Well done fellas! You sure were brave. Now while you rot or are eaten by rats, know that your nations will be flooded with Africans in the future and they will get to fuck the women in your nations. Bravo morons!

Donny, you need to wise up buddy! The globalist elites are running circles around you with their divide and conquer BS.

He didn't lie- a writer for Weider wrote that and Robby has said it wasn't true.

Yes, if you serve they will pay for college. They use to give you a 50% pension after 20 years but Obama cut it back to 40%.  Democrats talk a good game saying their love for the military but they will stab them in the back every chance they get. During Clinton when many got close to 20 years for their pension they would get rid of them so they couldn't collect. Right now they have a serious recruitment problem. Patriotic young people don't want to serve under Democrats. They offer up to a 50K sign on bonus now. Even with this they can't get people. Right now they are having a lot of in service classes on wokeness, tolerance and pronouns. They are making the physical part and the academic test easier so they can get fat stupid slobs in. As easy as the physical and academic test was to get in, it was keeping too many people out.

It's  the same as our military & the penny pinching started about 93/94  " options for change" it was called.
a while back they changed the Pensions,  before I would've got my pension at 55 but now I have to wait until I'm 60 which is 2 years away
I wouldn't join up nowadays...no way.

Robby couldn't beat Zane or Franco but he was good enough to beat Arnold serge and Lou in 75 ?..........
what an ungrateful thief that Robby is ...he never worked a day in his life when was training and doing drugs in Venice while Weider was providing for him gym,food,drugs,seminars etc  ..... then in the 90s when Robby was a mid 40 year old, and out of top 6 guy, Weider had him on payroll .

Too late.   ;D  The time I met Robbie he seemed a nice guy but that was nearly 50 years ago.  What did he do with that time?  At least he didn't become a G4P Film Star, but I bet he'd like a chance at going back in time and investing some of the money he must surely have earned or at least taken another shot at making more because he knows what it is going to be like in 2024 and investing it in something worthwhile like fApple or MicroSoff or prime real estate. 

Or not.

Robby Robinson is a scumbag leach. Sucking off others money. Never worked a day in his life. A gym bum. Shame on anybody that gives him money. Remember his gofundme account. Or his big scam having an outdoor hunting and fishing and camping facility. Looser. Ripping anyone he can off. And yes. Knew him..

I remember his gofundme meltdown because each one of his 70k followers could have donated 1 dollar go get him to 70k. Just lol at being that age and whining about 70k. He was around in the scene when known bodybuilders were picking up big money. What did he do with it? Ungrateful.

The stories of theft from gyms and being a general parasite have been going around for years. He expected Weider to push him forward the same as Arnold was. Robby is the kind of person to win the lottery and be too lazy to turn up to pick up the check

Give it 5 years, he'll be whining about this latest YouTube collaboration with whomever is producing these videos and how he screwed the great Robby Robinson out of revenue, somehow

Totally agree - victim mindset.  Also, maybe he'd have made more money over the years if he'd learned to speak fucking English, the dumb bastard - imagine getting to 'X' years old and still only being able to express yourself like this...
