Why Mike Went Back To Vietnam

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2008)

Before Nick, Steve and Mike were getting ready to be sent to Vietnam, Mike and Nick had a discussion about Vietnam, and what's going to happen. In this discussion, Nick asks Mike to never leave him in Vietnam, to come back for him if needed. Mike promises Nick that he would never leave him there, and would go back for him. During the war Nick and Mike are separated from each other, after from the POW camp. Nick is put on a helicopter and Mike and Steve fall back into the water. Mike gets Steve help for his broken leg, and is now alone. He manages to find Nick, but is unable to actually get his attention, because Nick never realizes Mike was in the same room as him. Nick runs off, and becomes lost in Vietnam. Mike returns home, and everyone is excited to see him alive, but Mike is not as thrilled to be home...without Nick. When Mike finally can't stand being home without Nick, after promising he wouldn't leave him, he sets out to try and find him. Mike visits Steve in a hospital for soldiers, and learns that Nick is alive, and has a good idea to where he might be. Mike goes to a place where he finds people who play a game called Russian Roulette, a game where people risk there lives, hoping the gun don't go off when the pull the trigger. Nick is there, but acts like he has no idea who Mike is. So the two of them play the game. As Nicks memory is slowly starting to come back, the game gets the best of him, and Nick is killed.
