#4 I think Mike goes back to get Nick because he promised him he would. In the beginning of the movie Nick tells him that no matter what happens he doesn't want to be left in Vietnam. Through the whole movie Mike is always looking out for Nick and Steve. So I think it made sense that he went back for Nick so they could all be together again. I think the thing that pushed him into going was seeing Linda crying in the back room of the store. I think he saw how much Nick not being home was hurting her and he didn't want to see her upset so he had to do something to help her. I think that even though they both love each other Linda really is in love with Nick and she doesn't want to betray him by doing anything with Mike if there's a chance he's still alive.
