I would like to say you're dumb for not realizing Americans call the "24-hour clock" military time.

Do research.

Check out the USPS time if you want a weird time system.

I'm familiar with zero dark thirty.

You made a generalized statement based on an inaccurate stereotype. Perhaps it's not their intelligence you should be questioning.

Every 24 hours in America...

It's just not what we're taught/how we're raised to tell time in general, though there are plenty of Americans with a military background or from a military family that are familiar/comfortable with it.

well they know what 2 pm and 2 am is, and they can find 2 am on a 24 hour clock. but what's 14 supposed to be?

honestly they should replace the numbers with animals. people would have an easier time then.

you've been raised from birth to believe metric is better just because it uses base 10, and you don't understand thirds as whole units anyway.

when you're confronted with the fact that a 'third' of something is an arbitrary classification, because you'll only ever have one of what you declared was a third of something, you deny it. you deny god, and this gets him off. sucking on his thirds. qed.
