Why Mike went back to Vietnam

Rating: Null/10 (22 December 2006)

Mike goes back to Vietnam in order to find Nike. He does this because of the promise the two made before they left to fight in the war. After the wedding and Nike streaking, the two talk about how much they love the town they live in. They realize how good their life is, how much they like where they work and everything else. The two make a promise that they will return home together. Nike had recently proposed to Linda, and makes Mike promise that if he dies, Mike will bring his body back with him. Mike ends up coming home to America without Nike. He cannot bear to see his old friends without Nike by his side; he realizes that nothing will be the same. Mike and Nike were very close friends, and Mike decides to return to Vietnam to bring Nike back and to keep the promise that he had made. When Mike finds Nike back in Vietnam, he sees that his friend has been severely affected by the war and what happened to them while they were fighting/captured. Nike is playing Russian roulette for money and is clearly doing dangerous drugs. Mike desperately tries to save his friend, but Nike ends up dying that night. Mike kept his promise, he stayed loyal to his friend, but unfortunately he is returning with the dead body of his Nike.
