#4 for Craven

Rating: Null/10 (11 December 2005)

#4...why did mike have to go back... Mike was the leader of the group, he was the most confident in his ways. He lived his life according to his "one shot" rule. He didn't think that there were second chances and that once it is said you're going to do something you must follow through to the fullest extent. This rule is more fully explained in his hunting technique, if he is not successful the first shot, he will not shoot it again, but he always hits the deer. This is the reason Mikey went back to Vietnam for Nicky. He learned that Nicky was still alive and living in Vietnam because of the drawer full of money Stevie had at the Veteran's Hospital. Nicky had been winning at Russian Roulette but before the three had left for Nam Nicky had asked Mike to promise not to leave him there, to go home together. Mike had a greed to the promise, so when he learned of Nicky being alive he was forced to go back and try to save him and bring him home. Even if it meant risking his own life in doing so, otherwise he would never have lost the feeling of guilt.
