Grams? Mg's? Of course we know metric. All of our pills are in metric. How many of us really care about knowing what it means? Consider our poor
military clods who have to figure things out in meters. I would presume that they
try to reason it out as something over a yard. But kilometers? Totally meaningless.

Would that be our 'poor' highly intelligent, highly trained troops you speak of? The same type of troops who knew what kilo, etc. were in WWII, Korea and certainly when I was in VN. Someone, that would be you, are not giving proper credit to the superb training we received. I could drop an 155 within 25 meters of the bad guys anytime. Up 10, right 15, fire for effect.
