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.

La fête est à quatorze heures.

Which is French for "I expect you'll show up some time between 15:00 and 19:00."
