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.

    The entirety of South America uses 24hr time.

      Which is a few countries south of the US and connected to NA by a nearly impassible forest and no roads… Might as well be another ocean.
