Why is it that Americans refer to 24 hour time as military time? I understand that the military uses the 24hr format but I don’t understand why the general public would refer to it like that?

It makes it seem like it’s a foreign concept where as in a lot of countries it’s the norm.

    As far as I know the Japanese use it aswell. I learned 午後 and 午前 as vocab at least. (Am and pm)
