We're not in the military...

…so why does Europe use military time? I mean I have never seen a clock numbered up to 24 so why do they use this time method everywhere? I think it is very unusual that the United States is the only country (that I know of at least) that does not use military time. Even my cell phone here is on military time but thankfully Carolyn showed me how to change that. Well, I guess I'm all out of thoughts on this subject. Any comments?
