Yes, US routinely uses metric system, or at least part of it. Your computer works at 120 Volts, you measure current in Amps, power in Watts, time in seconds. Also, a big bottle of Coke is 2 Liters (only as an afterthought is also displayed in fl. oz.). As for fools, NASA uses metric system, Lockheed Martin does not, so that's how you burn 125 million USD lost in the Martian atmosphere.
