Best Answer

Because you don't have to distinguish between AM and PM. 3:00am and 3:00pm are different so it's easier to say 0300 for AM and 1500 for PM and you can clearly see the difference.

Why do most health care facilities use military time rather than Greenwich time?

You're taking two entirely different things and implying they're the same - they are not. "Military time" is not a time zone - the military uses the time zone of the area of operations which they are active in. It is just a manner of displaying time, and is not one exclusive to the military - the term "military time" simply means that the use of the 24 hour clock is distinct, namely in a country which traditionally uses the 12 hour clock. Greenwich mean time is an actual time zone, and it's a bit pointless for medical facilities to use it when they're in an entirely different time zone.
