Why did mikey go back for nicky?

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2005)

In the beginning of the movie Nicky made Mikey promise that he wouldn't leave him in Vietnam. Unfortunately, it was very hard for Nicky to keep that promise considering the circumstances. In a scene where Michael is playing Russian Roulette, Nicky enters the room. The viewer is ultimately confused as to whether or not they see each other. until Mikey chases after Nicky.Later Mikey goes back to find Nicky because he ultimately feels guilty for and goes back to get him. Mikey has an obligation to at least keep his one promise. He already abandoned the "one shot" rule and only had one promise left to keep.Unfotunately, nicky looses to a game of Russian Roulette.
