'The military'

Has anybody else noticed how the American phrase 'the military' has now almost completely replaced the British phrases 'the forces' and 'the services'? I prefer the British phrases, since 'military' is an adjective, not a noun, and so when people use the phrase 'the military' I want to ask 'the military what?'.
