The Army is fixing the doors of Humvees in combat in Iraq because the doors can jam shut during an attack & trap soldiers inside. Kits to fix the problem were included in the vetoed bill. The door trouble, the latest in a series of problems with the Humvees since the Iraq war began, is an unintended consequence of armor against makeshift bombs.
