I believe the answer is:

latrine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a place men go in the military' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'i learnt about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'learnt'='ilearnt'
'ilearnt' is an anagram of 'LATRINE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for latrine that I've seen before include "waste disposal unit" , "Camp lavatory" , "office" , "Reliant on military loo" , "where to go in the army" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
