Think about it this way: Mathematically 24-hour/Military Time is much quicker to use when figuring out time differences on a inter-continental through global scale, such as the time difference between Perth, Western Australia (GMT +8:00) and Los Angeles, California (GMT -8:00).

Say it's 11pm (23:00) in Perth, knowing the timezone GMT offsets to be 8 hours between Perth & GMT, and 8 hours between GMT & LA, we combine them for a total difference of 16 hours, dropping the time in LA to be 07:00 (7am). Keep in mind this is working with raw data and figures, ignoring any deviations such as DST.
