Corrected entry: The General's daughter is leaving the formal occasion in her dress uniform. It is highly unlikely that someone would be driving a dirty tactical vehicle in the most expensive clothes that they would ever own. In addition, she pulls a tire iron from the hummer to assist Travolta. Hummers do not have spare tires. They are equipped with run flat tires, so would have no need to carry a tire iron. And those lug nuts won't budge without an impact wrench.

Correction: Regarding the dress uniform, it is correct that it is unlikely she would be riding in a tactical vehicle and would have probably been in a standard vehicle instead. Regarding spare tires, most HMMWVs do have them and the tools to change them too in the BII (Basic Item Issue). Even with run-flats, it wouldn't be wise to not have one, especially during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Runflats don't last forever and eventually, the tire would need to be changed. An impact isn't needed to loosen the lugs, and in many cases isn't available due to most HMMWVs not having the capability to run an impact wrench anyway.
