Inconsistent Time format

[daveslc]

Why is the time format in settings:general given as 12:51 pm (with other options) yet the time for scheduling a post is in military time (e.g. 13:51).
And, there's no option for military time in the Time Format in general settings.
It would be really great if this were consistent.
It's really easy to intend to schedule a post for 4:31 pm, but it posts immediately, because wordpress is set to treat this as 04:31 (i.e. 4:31 am).
