Sorry, but AS/PM seems simpler only because you were raised with it. Imagine 
having to cram 12:23PM on the small screen of a digital clock.
Even your military do not use the AM/PM system.

Sure makes the clock dial look crowded. The twelve hour dial was hard enough
for me.  You have to remember that the well known American penchant for
simplicity really stems from an inability to grasp the complex. <g>
