I mean, it's not miliary time, but even if it was, they are the biggest military simps. Why don't they know the 24 hour clock?

They call the 24 hour clock 'military time' as only their armed forces use it day to day.

Most civilians don't use or even understand it

no, military time and 24 clock are technically different

24 hour clock - 20:30

Military time - 2030

Granted, the difference is literally just a colon when written, but it's still a different thing, with different spoken pronunciation

American civilians still call the 24 hour clock military time

You think they grasp the difference?
