Let me see if I got this right....

Military gets interference on one of their tactical frequencies from garage door openers legally manufactured with a shared frequency status from the FCC.

Military retaliates by jamming frequency, rendering it useless for both tactical use and garage door use.

illogical

A look at any spectrum map covering DC to Daylight will reveal that the military does have a few gigahertz of other spectrum available.

Wait until they play the rookie contractor trick and nail a few hundred paint jobs by triggering the doors to come down at the wrong time.

A long time ago, contractors learned why you can't open a new subdivision of stepford homes with garage door openers all on the same frequency.

While effectively jamming all frequencies of garage door openers, it won't take much of a stray RF signal to activate random codes of the openers.

Exactly. The military "controls" large chunks of the RF spectrum that isn't even being used.
