Why Mike went back to get Nike

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2008)

Once Mike and his friends were finished fighting in the war, things still weren't the same. Stevie, one of Mike's friends, lost both of his legs during the war and Nike was still in Vietnam. Although he was still in Vietnam, he was sending high amounts of money to Stevie. Mike found out where his friend, whom he missed a lot, was and the money he had been sending to Stevie. I believe not only did he want to see want to bring his long-lost friend back home, but was also concerned about how Nike was getting so much money in Vietnam. I also think Mike knew Nike would be a danger to himself because of what the war did to him and didn't want him taking his own life.
