Hi folks, I am not a pilot in any capacity but an avid aviation lover (and Aero engineering student) and I was wondering. From my hours of geeking it out on YouTube watching videos of all sorts of aircraft I noticed something. On landing, commercial jets seem to aim for a point some distance down the runway but he military jets seem to always land pretty much on the numbers. Any particular reason for this or is it just a trivial observation?

Thanks for your time.
