You always see military movies were the character says something like, "we are four clicks south of your position". So, what is the measurment of a "click"? Is it a mile or something?

a click is a kilometer or .62% of a mile.

Is everybody sure it only means Kilometer? I recal World War 2 movies where they use the term click in reference to distance, but I don't think they were big on the metric system in the US military back then (most of the time they seemed to use English units).

The acronum is used for the measurement Kilometer.

That is a tradition left over from when our military was full of draftees to whom the word "kilometer" was too difficult. It's a kilometer, and the term has stuck largely because it's shorter.

One Click is one Kilometer, which is exactly 1000 meters, about 1166 yards or about .626 Miles.

well, in Canada...a "click" is a kilometer (km) which is 1000 m...so, half a click would be 500 m....2 clicks would be 2 km....I guess in the States it would be a mile...I'm not sure. :)
