Rating: Null/10 (21 December 2011)

Mike went back to Vietnam to find nick for numerous reasons. Before all of the friends went to the War in Vietnam they all swore to do whatever they can to get each other out of Vietnam alive. The three of them are very close friends and are very close to each other and their respected families. They are almost one big family if you really think about it. In the film before Mike, Steve, and Nick go to war they all go deer hunting to kind of relax and escape from the reality of entering a war. During the trip the men all have time to express their feelings and tell each other how they feel about each other and the war. During this Mike tells both Steve and Nick that he wouldn't leave them behind in the Jungle.In the war the three of them eventually get separated. Steve gets badly injured from an explosive device during battle and has to have his legs amputated. He is sent away from the jungle to receive treatment for his injuries. Nick doesn't get injured, however he stays in Vietnam, or is forced to stay by the French man who runs the Russian roullette house. Mike is sent home safely, and is not injured. When Mike comes home he is very concerned about what the fate of his best friends were. He gets ahold of Steve in a Hospital and decides to go bring him home. When he sees Steve he seems to be happy where he is and doesn't want to come home. Mike eventually convinces him to come home, even though he is embarrassed of himself and how he turned out. Mike couldn't find Nick so he decided to go back to Vietnam and look for him. He finds him playing Russian roullette for money, so he decides to buy out the other seat and try to talk nick out of playing. His efforts are not enough as Nick is delusional and proceeds to play and shoot himself. Mike goes back to Vietnam to look for his friend because he is a loyal very linear person. He stands by his words and always backs them up. His decision to go back shows his character and friendship towards his best friend. He wasn't going to let nick die in the jungle without putting forth his best efforts to save him. Otherwise it would have haunted him for the rest of his life. Mike is a very loyal courageous man and a very good friend.
