USA is a teenage country with no culture, of course they would be edgy and invent their own shit or use something different from everyone else.
Imagine how much time and resources they could have saved over the years.

Saying the month first just sounds more natural.

Also the USA got a head start as a nation with standardized measurements enforced by a government. Where as the Europeans and others didn't later when they adopted metric.

Standard/Imperial is pretty convenient too. An inch is about a width of a man's thumb. A foot is about a man's foot.

more practical for day to day use. metric is better for scientific use. real life isn't a lab though

using outside temperature readings based off a scale based on water freezing and boiling points for example is completely impractical

I would like to go ahead and ask you for a source on that.

I would be amazed if NASA was using imperial units for ballistics, even in the 60s, seriously.
