#4 nick and mike relationship

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2014)

Why does Mike go back to Vietnam to find Nick? Mike has to go back for nick. Mike has to go back and get nick because after the wedding scene when they are talking about the war mike, nick and the gang promise one an other to leave no man behind. Mike is the strongest character in the movie. Mike takes good care of nick, he saves him once in the Russian roulette scene. Nick always had to be taken care of a little bit and mike was usually the one who took care of him. Nick has a lot of PTSD as we call it today. After playing Russian roulette you can see how it really messes him up. Mike does the right thing and goes back to get nick and save him. Mike ends up seeing nick shoot himself in a game of Russian roulette that he could never win anyway. I'm not 100 percent sure but I think nick was on drugs and could not handle going back to his friends and family at home because he was no longer the same person.
