Why isn't it explained to us how the senator was able to get O'Neil back into the SEALs given the fact that she had already made her backroom deal that was contingent on keeping O'Neil from graduating and also the requisite information to keep her out was already known to people? As she said, she couldn't exactly unring that bed. Seems like very convenient (read: poor) storytelling.

My reasoning was she still kept her bases, as that had already been made public..maybe she had to make some other deals, but it doesn't matter to me...as this is not a true story anyway..
shareMy point is that if she gets to keep her bases than she owes someone big for that. What does she do to make up for that? The storytellers owe it to the audience to tell us how she fills that gap.
If you only care about the logic if the story is based on a true story that's on you.

It doesnt make it a plot hole...They dont owe it to the audience...This isnt called "GI Jane and the Senator" Hitchcock used the word MacGuffin which is a plot device used to move the plot along...How and why the senator made a backroom deal isnt relevant to Oneil being allowed to be a Seal.
shareA character couldn't do something for the main character because of an issue and then suddenly can do that thing for the main character. Yeah. That is a plot hole.
