The Great American Time War

The Great American Time War
The 24-hour clock isn't launching missiles, folks—it's just telling time efficiently! Americans calling it "military time" is like thinking the metric system is a secret weapon. "Oh no, 16:05! Are we being deployed??" Meanwhile, the rest of the world just casually checks their watch without declaring war. Next thing you know, Celsius will be "tactical temperature" and the metric system will be "special ops measurements." The real battle here is against having to do math when you see 4:30 PM versus 16:30. Spoiler alert: they're the same time, not different military ranks.
