I don't think there is a way to achieve this without editing the source.
uptime is neither locale aware, nor does it have a command line option
for this.
A quick look at the source reveals that the output format is hardcoded...
The relevant fragment from whattime.c (called from uptime.c -- in the
"procps" pkg):
pos = sprintf(buf, " %2d:%02d%s ",
realtime->tm_hour%12 ? realtime->tm_hour%12 : 12,
realtime->tm_min, realtime->tm_hour > 11 ? "pm" : "am");
I guess you'd have to change this, if the 12 hour mode really bothers
you badly enough ;)
