Mike's Return to Vietnam

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2011)

Throughout the entire film, the audience could tell that mike was the leader and sort of "father figure" in the group of friends. With that being noted, it was obvious that he would have to return to Vietnam to find nick, the only friend he had that he didn't view as an idiot. Along with the need to protect nick, his feelings for Linda propelled him to go back to find Nick. even though mike loves Linda, he knows that she will never be fully happy until she knows what happened to nick. That gave mike an obligation to return and find nick. Because of his live for hunting, Mike really has this love of the hunt. It's why he is such a good hunter and was able to survive Vietnam physically unharmed. Going back to find nick was like a challenge for him, a way to satisfy that need for closure, happiness and his desire to hunt.
