Why does Mike go back to Vietnam to find Nick? Be specific with this one and use examples.
Mike goes back to Vietnam to find closure in what happened to Nick. Mike remembers seeing Nick in the Russian roulette game that Mike walked out of. Mike and Nick have always been close. Mike felt the need to rescue his friend from an unspeakable fate. The two are really close, almost like brothers. They go to war together, fight together, and get separated only when they are injured. Mike felt this pull to Nick, he wouldn't not believe that Nick went AWOL without a good reason. Mike tried to convince Nick to come back to America with him, and in the end it wouldn't happen. Nick had lost his conscious mind all he was interested in was the money he made after each round. In the end, this is what ended Nick's life, a need for money. Mike tried to talk Nick out of this game, but he couldn't be reasoned with.
