I was doing something on Genealogy and wanted to get information from the British "Royal Army Service Corps Association" official web site

In order to post I had to register, fair enough. But among the questions I was asked in order to register included my birth date, and the site actually gave a reason for requiring that

"We require that you enter your birthday as to comply with US law."

Beats me why British Army feel that they have to comply with US Law, and I never heard of even George Bush requiring my birth date in order to sign up on forum like say WebmasterWorld.

One wonders how many participants they have born 4 July 2009 or 1 Jan 1900. I refuse to go to the USA now that they require us to give fingerprints and eyeballs in order to enter the land of the free.
