I thought the ending was a nice twist and a bit of shock and realism to bring the movie back down to earth. Anything else would have been too saccharine. It was an excellent movie start to finish.
I thought the scene at the French plantation was important because France's involvement in Vietnam had just preceded the US and not mentioning it would have been a huge hole. That said, I found it to be one of the weaker scenes and wish it had been done better.
As for the other scenes, I enjoyed them. If you're going to be that picky, why even include a lot of other scenes such as the USO show, the surfing, etc.
I'm guessing it was because his passenger seat was littered with empty cans of Red Bull. Less worrisome but also a bit odd, his dashboard was full of maneki-neko (Chinese waving cat).
