Did Arnold only do prison time for his AWOL from Austrian Army?
Advertisements [?]
Google is either nicely cleaned up or I am not asking the correct question. I know Arnold did a short prison term for being AWOL from the Austrian Army (he once bragged about it and how his being a bodybuilder (a fact they learned about because his AWOL had a bodybuilding reason) was so important to Austrian Army he got out of all other duties.

Going from my memory (dating to the 86 wedding with Maria), I seem to recall that Arnold had a brother who died - And that before the Brother died, the brother was the favored one in the family where the father was a nut into putting down Arnold. And while the brother was alive (and Arnold quite young)he was known for his own temper and lack of control - at one point assaulting a women, going to Court, and then to jail for that assault.

Now neither the prison time for AWOL(which is documented) nor any juvenile assault conviction - if true - is of interest - especially not for political purposes - the fellow was a kid - and today he is not a "bad" person - and is indeed, except for being GOP - a quite nice guy (albeit there are stories of his boundary issue problem with women).

What is of interest to me is why is it so hard to get info on his brother - or on his life before winning the Olympus contest? I swear it is like the web has been cleaned up of any "negative" history of any GOP person (this happened to all the Reagan rape stories that were on the Web in the 90's) if you search for it through Google.
