The military only uses a few Metric measurements, and even than I'm willing to bet they
use the Imperial ones as well, it's not easy when you've been taught one way and are
expected to learn another way as well.

Um... no. I'm in the Australian Military and have worked with American Army and Marines and I've never seen them use imperial. It's an easy system that's why its easy to learn.

Well, maybe it's a regional thing, I've never seen military here use anything purely Metric,
but maybe when they're stationed in other countries that use Metric they just use it there,
sort of like the when in Rome saying.
