In Australia we once had the imperial system and about a year after the big switch (14 Feb 1966) we became all metric like a mofo. Now 35c feels hot and 15c feels cold. Plus units of ten is so much easier than factions.
Ask the US military about the metric system, they’ve been using it since at least Vietnam, if not earlier.
As an army vet. No we don’t. Never once in the military did I use Celsius. For distances we used both. I have pictures from inside my vehicles where the speedo was in miles.
That’s an artefact of the “now”.

Fair enough, I’m an Australian vet, and the US guys we worked with used kilometres. I must have generalised.i withdraw my comment. 🙂
