Borderline. Only in that Ron's mother is extremely religious which leads to her berating her son, and an eventual confrontation. When he is a teenager she scolds him and tells him he is going to hell for having a porn magazine. Later, after the war, Ron and his family (mostly his mother) have a loud confrontation where he says God doesn't exist and blames his mother for his going to Vietnam. His mother throws him out of the house in response.

The mother of the main character is a devout Christian, and so she shames him for everything so he is reliant on her

It shows a scene in the hospital following Vietnam, so there are a few people who are amputated, along with mentioning the possibility of amputation

Not a plane, but a helicopter, during the war. Visually third person. You hear the radio from the soldiers inside.

The film is about a Vietnam War veteran. The main scene is once he returns home and he is being honored on Independence Day/his birthday, and hears a baby cry and helicopters ahead while he is giving a speech, and has to leave the stage.
