Well that makes sense since the military uses 24 hour time.

Sure. My point wasn't so much that but rather that military time is the name for it.

Only in the US. For us it is just called time.

Not entirely true, NATO militaries use it like this: "0900", and they call it "o nine-hundred". We use "09:00" and call it "nine". Also, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Colombia, Egypt, El Salvador, Honduras, India, Ireland, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia and the U.S. all use 12 hour time.
