Mike goes back for Nick.

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2016)

Mike goes back for Nick because he cannot break the promise he made to him. During their time in the war, they promised each other that they wouldn't leave the other behind in Vietnam. When Mike finds Nick, he is horrified. Nick has become a mess in Vietnam and hardly recognizes Mike at first. He has turned to playing in the Russian Roulette ring which disturbs Mike. Due to the fact that they played Russian Roulette while in the Prisoner of War camp, it is upsetting and tragic that Nick has returned to playing it for "fun". Personally, the scene when they reunited was emotional to me. I was expecting a somewhat happy reunion which clearly didn't happen. When Nick shot himself during Russian Roulette, I was shocked. Overall, I think Mike did the right thing going back to Nick but ended up suffering because of it.
